30 AC per tick (2 PZ always-on sprayers) was moving across this relay link.  While it moved between collectors the image on the relay link was as static as the screen shot.  I also included the forge settings that caused this.

The bottom segment (with the gaps) is relay to relay, the top segment (with almost no gaps) is relay to PZ-collector.

The AC is moving to the spot that the next AC was at.

It's not a bug, it's just that the packets are moving so fast that they look like they're standing still.

Like wagon wheels appearing to move backwards.

The AC packets reach the position of the next packet as fast or faster than the computer can display the change or your eyes can process the information.

I do agree it's because each packet moves into the space of the last one.  That doesn't change the fact that it appears to stand still.
