Re: [Beepcore-c-users] Performance Adjustments: Silly Frames and poll() timeout

[David C N. <dc...@ad...>]

I think basing it on the actual number of sessions would make some sense,
but I have anywhere from 1-4 sessions per profile instance right now, and
the optimum timeout is consistently near 10 msec, mostly independent of 
the number of sessions.  It might also make sense to only look through the 
sessions that actually exist instead of the theoretical max supported, 
perhaps, but it is not quite clear to me how to do that.
