   I don't know of any app on OS/2 that uses isochronous transfer and thus has   
   a "right" to be timing-sensitive.  Apps using bulk transfer should not expect   
   data to arrive on any schedule.  If they do, they're probably badly designed.   
   (OK, whose toes did I just step on?)   
      
   In any case, the vast majority of users are doing interrupt-driven bulk   
   transfers to/from storage devices and would like to see the process move   
   along as quickly as possible.

   Please do.
