Thanks for the analysis. Not being an expert on _all_ those topics :) I'm asking myself if there are some tweaks (monkey patching is fine) to get rid of those? I certainly do not need any morphic loop as long as it doesn't steer the network reception *cough* :) Can the intervals to check inputs and process switches be stretched without open the door to hell because timing loops are tightly aligned?

thanks,
