PWM 13-16 Replacement Code

Ok, so does that mean you can not call it in the fast loop? If this is the case, is there an advantage to using PWM's 13-16? If the outputs can only be updated every 26.2 ms (38Hz) For example if I wanted to use 13 and 14 for camera servo control, to move 200 steps would take over 5 seconds if it moved in one step increments (200 * .0262s). I really would like to see the camera "snap" to a position. It seems that nasty little 26.2ms loop time keeps getting in the way.
