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.

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 !

Makes sense, even though 64ms sounds like a too short interval to me, most likely my CPU doesn't share my opinion. Will do some testing on this, thanks XelaG :)
