Thank you for working on this!  I look forward to using it to further
tune my music recording setup, and to get more useful data from these
experiments.  "Does it produce xruns with smaller periods/timers
(particularly when RT-safe effects are running)" is so hardware specific
that it's hard to say anything useful.

Best,
Nicholas
