You are posting onto a development list with a patch. Of course I am
going to discuss the patch. If you had posted to the discussion
without the patch my answer would have been very different!
My apologies to you on this. I have just worked through my ideas in
another thread and proved myself wrong.

Agree 100% as you can see in my other posting. I think packet size/sec
is better for CCID3 but not allowed.

Agree this is better.
By my calculations you don't need to do this now as it calculates the
correct packet sending rate. Would be easy to verify but I don't have
my equipment available right now or the time.
