I'm still trying to understand where the frequency is stored? Is it a value that can be embedded into the gif?

Gifs don't have a constant FPS. You can specify with some precision how long they should display each frame.
That's right. The Graphic Control Extension blocks preceding each frame let you specify a "delay" in hundreths of a second.

And more info on the zero-delay problem here: http://nullsleep.tumblr.com/post/16524517190/animated-gif-mi...

oh I see - thanks for that, interesting stuff
