I'd also be curious if anyone knows of a datarate limiting object for
messages. Right now, I'm using buddy along with a metronome to
accomplish the task (pretty straightforward), but it seems like a task
that other people might be interested in -- for instance in cases where
events are overwhelming the CPU and there is a desire to limit the rate
of messages when the CPU is being overutilized. In my patch, I use it to
limit the maximum datarate physically being sent out over UDP to my wifi
lights because too high of datarates result in lags at the 802.11b
level.
