Jquery animation time speeds up after first run

[dcp3450]

I’m making a basic marquee that takes a set of list items and scrolls them (this is for a sports site, they want a news ticker).

Everything works except after the first run the duration speeds up.

Code:

var duration = 10000;
var textScroll = function(toScroll, time)
{
toScroll.animate({left:”-“+toScroll.children().text().length+”px”},time,”linear”, function()
{
$(this).css({left:toScroll.children().text().length});
textScroll($(this),duration);
});
};
textScroll($(‘.textScroll ul’), duration);

Like i said, it scrolls perfectly. Just gets faster after the first scroll.

Any ideas?
