You goaded me into trying it! I wasn't sure whether HostMenus was wired
into BlackBox.exe or loaded as a module but anyway I changed the idle
time from 50ms to 1ms recompiled and rebooted BlackBox.
It did change the response and nothing crashed!

The new measured response time was 10ms.

So you can get a factor of 5 but not a factor of 50 speedup.
