> 100 should be fine. 10 would be a bit too much overkill.

I think you have this the wrong way round - the smaller this number is
the *less* often it will poll the device. Its in hertz remember. So 10
is only polling ten times a second, whereas 100 is polling 100 times a
second. If you are getting dropped packets then *increase* the number so
that it polls more often.
