my indicators dont move so smoothly

Question

Hello,

If you run the code below and you press the left indicator, you will see the slide move in an awkward manner; in fact parts of the slide will not show for a few seconds. Would you happen to know how I can make this slide move smootly when I press the indicators.

Please answer if you are familiar with this course, and you have run and solved this code.

Cheers
