----boundary-LibPST-iamunique-1246008646_-_- Content-type: text/plain Folks, I second Wojtek's concerns about (a) faster than 20Hz, and (b) non-blocking when the mouse is pressed. I have a potential application that needs to respond in about 10 milliseconds (100 Hz). -Doug Wojtek Skulski wrote: Josef: I think there is a general consensus in the community that a single line of development is much prefered over branching off into several incompatible lines. I am myself very grateful to Marco for his heroic effort to support his own optimizations. I am hoping that his version will provide a certain push to OuS, who may feel compelled to evaluate Marco's solutions, and if they find them sound, to include them into their main line of development. (Who said that OuS are always right? Maybe Marco has thought of something valuable which can benefit everybody?) I already pointed out that the tasking system can greatly benefit from being (a) faster than 20 Hz, and (b) non-blocking, when the mouse is pressed. These are two main issues which I find problematic for my data acquisition system. Other than these two problems, I am happy with the present tasking system. I wish to thank Marco for stirring the waters with his inofficial BB 2.0.
