Oh OK, I was going the wrong way...set my idleHandlerPeriod to 0 which
is generating rather a lot of idle events... I'm doing a <puppetTempo 1>
every time a request is sent to MSagent to speak, might just get this
thang to work!
thanks Roy

What is your frame rate? Try adjusting the idleHandlerPeriod so fewer
idle events are generated. This should leave time for background
processing.
