Got it, thanks.

Yes. I use that delay as the pacer in the whole system. I also check to
see if the actual delay is much greater than the requested delay. I
see occasionally it being 2/100 sec greater, usually when I'm doing
something else on the system at the same time. Quite reasonable.

 >How big are the packets you send between client and server?

They vary. There is a fixed header of 12 bytes, optionally followed
by other data, perhaps upto 1 or 2K in the extreme. Most will be
quite short during the 'build the world' phase, which is where my
concern is.

No - they are all local on one machine.
