What do you mean by frequently? In between a burst of request or
during a burst of request?

I am thinking that this could have an effect on energy instead, but I
guess it's not always straightforward to decide what's most important.

Anyway, what does it mean when you change to use 0x3FF? Are you
increasing the idle period? Then for how long?

Kind regards
