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.
