That's the proper thing to do.  Any new or modified object needs to
get out there so that people see it.  It'll eventually decay to the
timing of your timing slider, and will stay at that timing.

If you start up Xastir again with live objects in your object.log
file, you'll get the same exponential decay again for those objects.
