Happy SmartDashboarding!
I'm excited someone understands the SmartDashboard and stuff so well, but I would like to correct you on this point.

It is actually worse if you surround things with begin and end transactions. If all you care about is sending one value, don't use a transaction.

If you want two or more values to be linked together, that is when you want to use a transaction.
