Thank you for that explanation.  It does solve the problem.

I need to set up a different graph before the animation
and so I can't use "plot" command in the animation because it will
destroy the original graph.  I need to use the "replot" command. 

But now I can just plot the original graph and then plot the initial
point of the animation using "replot f(t), g(t)".  Then I run the
rest of the animation only "replot;".

set parametric
# plot the first graph
set trange [0:2*pi]; plot cos(t), sin(t) with lines lw 8

#plot the initial point of the animation with "replot f(t), g(t)" 
a_time=0
replot f(a_time), g(a_time) with points pt 7 ps 2 lc 2

# perform the animation with just "replot;"
do for [i=1:400] { \
a_time=a_time+0.01;
replot; \
pause 0.3 }

Now the pauses are less than 1 second and the animation runs
smoothly.

Thanks again.
