[View Quote] Lots of benefits: when doing intensive property querying, for example, it
runs *much* faster, because it is only when you call aw_wait that the bot
collects the info sent by the servers (events, callbacks) and consequently
can act upon that information. So, if you collect it once a second, you can
only respond once a second, but if you collect 16 times a second, you can
spead up the response.

Obviously, if the bot is doing nothing and there are little or no events
coming, this benefit won't show. I could test the difference when I made
the new 3.1 world backup routines using the cell iterator. The backup was
done16x faster when I changed the bot's heartbeat (where it calls aw_wait)
from 1 beat a second to 16 beats a second !
