USB Stenograph protocol for Plover
49facd781f
On my computer, plover is one of the most resource intensive processes when using this plugin. This is because the USB polling occurs in a loop with no sleep. The code as it was, polled for USB information in excess of 1600 times a second. This commit adds in a sleep to reduce that down to 6 to 7 polls a second. A sleep of 0.15 seconds was chosen as this in excess of 5 strokes per second - the fastest I could find. Additionally, the delay doesn't introduce significant lag to realtime output. |
