What's relevant or important in general programming isn't always the same in robotics/control systems, but a few things that aren't that important in general programming are REALLY important in embedded control system programming. Milliseconds is one of them.

(I seriously don't think Java overhead creates milliseconds of delay for code the size of FRC code. LabVIEW...)
