Think of the Frame Rate (fps) as a speed limit. You need a very fast

computer or very well optimized animation to come close to the set frame

rate. First determine if your movie is as optimized as well as it should

be. If not optimize it using the Report and the Bandwidth Profiler. The

better optimized your movie the smoother and faster it will play. 


The higher you set the frame rate the greater the difference between how

fast your animation will play on a fast computer compared to how fast it

will play on a slower computer. The lower you set the frame rate the

more time you give the fatter and slower frames to play therefore the

frame rate will be slower but smoother especially on slower computers.

Don't worry about the frame rate number but how well it plays on your

target computers at the set rate.
