Ok, here are some results of my investigation:
- There is no general 8ms cycle
- When you change motor settings they become effective
on the next timer interrupt (occurs every ms), and
the rotating pattern for a reduced powerlevel starts anew,
and independently for each motor.
So you can just look at the clock and do whatever you like,
within the limited speed of the Java VM.

| Here is an interesting paper on using NQC to control motor speed. A similar technique could be used in leJOS: (URL) paper has lots of interesing ideas in it besides motor speed control. My favourite being the proximity sensor which I have remodelled (...) (23 years ago, 24-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)
