Message size/speed

Right now I am sending messages from and to the host as fast as possible. I am adding code right now to see how many messages are being sent a second and how large they are (just string length).

The question is should I have them bombarding each other or should there be some sort of max speed?

A max speed is a good idea because then you’re not wasting bandwidth that is not needed. Play around with a max speed and adjust down for a good median between performance and efficiency.
