Seriously, the _only_ time you should be sending data TO the simulator is if a control state changed. I seriously doubt it's physically possible for you to fiddle with enough switches & knobs simultaneously to overload the ability of the telnet interface to process the events. If you're trying to use the telnet interface for pitch/roll/yaw/throttle inputs, then yeah, that would be a Bad Idea(tm) - FG has good built-in joystick handling and you shouldn't try to handle that externally unless there is some kind of compelling reason to do so.
