Changed Delay in mode_static

I was seeing a delay in rendering the LEDs from when the segment was set to when the LED's actually rendered. I traced it down to the mode_static function returning 500 causing a 500 millisecond retry cycle. I changed my version to 100 and the delay went away. My question is...

  1. Will this cause any issues?
  2. Why was it set to 500? I am sure there was a reason just wanted to be sure I understood any repercussions of setting this to 100.
    Also, totally awesome library!!!!! I sincerely appreciate your work and awesome library.
    Thanks!

In WS2812FX v1.2.4 the delay for mode_static was changed from a hardcoded 500ms to whatever "speed" is set in the setSpeed() or setSegment() functions. So you shouldn't need to patch the lib code, just set the segment speed.
