[pstricks] beats in postscript

The project is to graph oscillations :
y (x) = A sin (omega+omega_0)t/2  sin (omega-omega_0)t/2
which are called beats for small values of omega-omega_0.
Is there a way of improving the ugly figure I got below
or is it an intrinsic problem of postscript
not being able to handle quick changes in direction.
Thanks, Henrik
