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.
