What sample rate are you running at?

In 2005, we ran many tests with sample rates from 200hz to 12800 hz. While we have since lost the raw data from the tests, the results were that we saw improvements in performance up to 1600hz and beyond that there were no noticeable improvements. We have since always used 1600hz and get results that are repeatable to within the accuracy of our measurement method.
