Have you tested this with enough high speed interactive games? 50ms (1/20s) is three to four frames, and quite a lot of delaying input. There are a number of types of games that require faster response than this. I'm not entirely sure how it influences most mouse-run games - I know that at least some 2D fighting games with joystick absolutely required 1-frame (20ms) response on 50Hz displays.

It'd be interesting to know what they do. > Revision Changes Path > 1.63 +256 -110 src/sys/isa/psm.c Eivind.
