A few select testers so far > have seen stable performance. I'm running this at my workstation at work. Today it still had DEVICE_POLLING compiled in, but no +polling on the interface. It looks ok.

I didn't really stress-test it, but that wasn't necessary in the past to trigger the watchdog timeouts. A little CPU load did the job in the past. Ronald. -- Ronald Klop Amsterdam, The Netherlands
