NativeUI on the fritz?!

Okay, this is very weird. I am still on pre-After Hours patch (cuz I need Menyoo). I have a wee script I use to change voices. With some code like this:

        private void OnmainMenuItemSelect(UIMenu sender, UIMenuItem item, int index)
        {
            string voicename = ListOfVoices[voices.Index];
            Game.Player.Character.Voice = voicename;
            mainMenu.Visible = false;
            UI.ShowSubtitle("VOICE changed to " + ListOfNames[voices.Index], 2000);
        }

        private void OnKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Shift && e.KeyCode == Keys.L && !modMenuPool.IsAnyMenuOpen())
            {
                mainMenu.Visible = !mainMenu.Visible;
            }
        }

        private void onTick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (modMenuPool != null)
            {
                modMenuPool.ProcessMenus();
            }

Very old code! Been using it since ages! But now, when I press Shift-L, the menu starts flickering, on and off. Most peculiar! Like:

What the hell is going on here?! Did NativeUI become incompatible, at some point?!

LOL, I figured it out. Apparently -- thinking I was doing the right thing -- I had set the Interval too low, like

    	Interval = 100;

This causes the menu to no longer be drawn at every frame; hence, the flickering.
