That's the 1 ms, after which the speed switch happens. Do you think the
voltage switch actually takes longer to settle than this?

That may be right - it's probably the reason for the latency cutoff at 10
ms. People might not be impressed if they try ondemand switching :-)
Anyway: is it safe to try, or will I fry my system board?
