Effect.Highlight doesn't return to original color with many elements?

[John Wells <lists (at) sourceillustrated.com>]

Hi guys.

Most of the time, Effect.Highlight works just fine for me. However, when 
I highlight a large number of elements, the color of those elements 
never returns to the original color...

As an example, consider the code at the bottom of this post. Each 
element starts to fade back to original, but stops short, leaving each 
highlighted.

Anyone know what might be causing this, or what I might need to do 
differently?

Note, I've tried splitting the effects off into queues, which resolves 
the issue but doesn't perform as desired...I really need this to appear 
almost instantaneously.

It appears this happens in both IE and Firefox. Thanks for any help you 
might provide!

John
