But there would be a similar problem with *_inc = 10. From what I've
tested, one needs something like *_inc = 100 to be equivalent to a
time-based method (on each message) in the "fast" cases. But a lower
value would be much better in slow cases. In short, a time-based
method (possibly in addition to *_inc) yields better results.
