VCR.speed is the inter-packet replay-gap multiplier, not a per-packet
animation cadence multiplier. Dividing the constants by VCR.speed made
LIVE mode appear instantaneous whenever a prior REPLAY had cycled to
4×/8× (the speed persists in localStorage across page loads).

Changes:
- drawAnimatedLine: stepMs = 33 (was 33 / VCR.speed)
- drawMatrixLine: DURATION_MS = 1100 (was 1100 / VCR.speed)

Inter-packet replay timing (delay = realGap / VCR.speed, line 507) is
left untouched — that is the legitimate slow-mo / fast-forward axis.

Fixes #1346
