I don't think that this info is posted in these forums, but maybe it is. Anyhow I just wanted to get a couple of questions cleared up. First up, I'm wondering if that 100ms refresh rate in game data reader is still accurate?
From what I understand, this deliberate delay only affects the FFXI library of commands.
If what I'm asking is true, then it's probably in my best interest to add a 100ms sleep command when ever I create a loop(for,while,repeat) containing a FFXI library command. From my observations, most of my POL crashes are attributed to the small loops in my script that contain a FFXI library command like FFXI.chat_GetNewestLineNumber( ).
So what I began doing is adding a 100ms delay in all my loops which spam the game data reader for new info. There is no need to continuously ask for new data if it only refreshes every 100ms. Since adding theses small delays into my script, I can honestly say my script is much more stable for it.

One of the changes is a reduction in the update rate for the game data reader to 100ms instead of 10ms.
.......
100ms should be plenty fast for just about any other use. If it turns out to be too slow, I'll change it accordingly.
