Thanks a lot for testing these. I now have pretty good idea about the
problem. The problem is not what you though it is, but the driver is
also not too slow like I suspected.
I'm quite certain now that the PPM simply does not create the event at
all in this case, regardless of what the driver does. We do need to
workaround that problem, but I think we can do it in a better way. I
have an idea for that.
thanks,
