Thanks for the explanation. Your last remark puzzles me though.
'experiment with it until you get optimal performance' Yeah sure. I like
to experiment. I don't want the fuzzy "it /feels/ like its
slower/faster" stuff. Way too subjective. Can someone advise me on some
test software to expermient with? I.e.: I set hz=100 / hz=1000 / hz=2000
; with or without polling and I run a testing program that measures the
diffs. Does something like this exists?
