Does this mean the Boa rolls faster and turns as fast as a MkIII, or do the numbers go the other way?

Hi All, Loving the Linux Oolite on Ubuntu, but occasionally I get a strange effect. My entire screen appears to fade to black - this takes a couple of seconds and seems to be rescued by key presses (possibly requires a reduction in speed). Is this a "blackout" feature to represent the bore...
