Great news on switching to select! Thanks!

You might throttle the speed by averaging your frame response over time. If
you wake because of handle activity and not a timeout, note whether you've
already processed the frame for this interval (ie. record a timestamp when
you do process a frame) and blow it off until next time if so, adjusting
your select timeout. Use absolute time measurements to know when you need
to timeout next. (Hopefully I stated that in a form you can decrypt. I'm a
little sleep-deprived myself as I write this. ;) )
