It depends on what you are doing in a step, but 1s step should not hurt. May be the problem is somewhere else. With DrGeo, I noted Athens is faster to BitBlt with bitmap operations (in my case, only scaling and displaying a From in a DrGeo canvas). Also, do your bitmaps come with 32 bits depth?
I suspect Rubric. Old pharo withouth Rubric in Nautilus -> ~ 0.5 % Current Pharo with Rubric in Nautilus -> ~ 10 % both with a fresh image and only one Nautilus window open.
