What about using NQC or the original Lego software to test and make sure its not RoboLab in combination with your laptop that is causing errors. Ok, (...)

The problem does not come from container's container, but from the fact that ROBOLAB adds a 1-sec delay to each system sound call. Instead use play-tone here. There is only a 2/10 sec pause.

It seems that RCX programs created with RoboLab sometimes have slow response times, like there are extra delays ocurring between the program steps.
