Yep, that's exactly what's happening here.  Beyond a certain rate, it doesn't
matter how fast the blink attribute rate controlled by the GIME is;  the
character will still have an irregular 30th of a second blink rate, due to the
frame rate being a 60th of a second and the fact that the character has a random
equal likelihood of being drawn as on or off in any given frame.
