Fair enough.  I just wondered, seemed that we could save some CPU
processing power if we used a lower rate, but good point on the analogue
filtering, I wasn't thinking of that side of things.

Definitely we want to avoid nasty aliasing, and having a higher rate
does make the filter cutoff less critical.
