I believe Colin Holgate's instigated MIDI experiment on Jacques slower
machine using a field (the slow method) as storage revealed a latency of 8.3
MICROseconds. I understood the result indicated that if that was too slow
you could almost halve the latency by using a customProp. I can't imagine a
8MHz Mac Classic running HC was too much faster than that.
