I think you've hit it John. I recall reading about that via its man page, 
and had since forgotten it, having reached that age where I can't always 
recall what I had for breakfast, or even if I had breakfast since thats 
not an everyday occurrence, governed by the morning glucose reading.

Not in the big pdf, except a very terse description, but it does have a 
manpage, from which I extracted this:

loadrt threads name1=name period1=period [fp1=<0|1>] [<thread-2-info>] 
[<thread-3-info>]

And I am assuming the fp1 tells it floating point or not.  And that 
worked, I now have a 10ms thread running for this slower stuff driven by 
human hands.

Thanks John.



Cheers, Gene Heskett
