I'm wondering if any c++ teams had any performance issues as stated here... From my wind-river experience, I have no complaints with WPIlib performance, and we do some complex code. We run using a 10ms sleep but could probably do 5ms quite easily... the entire loop clocks around 1 - 2 ms... I'll verify later today... but the cpu usage was under 30%.


P.S. it was amazing what could be done with 6502 assembly! C=
