Yes please. I've used both the one in base, and also from ports, for many years, on both hobby / home desktops, and also in production. The base one has occasionally gotten wedged, and backed up processes from periodic. I don't recall seeing this with the one from ports, nor do I recall seeing it recently in the last year. If I get a repeat, I'll add a PR rather than this anecdotal info. A+ Dave
