I've found that it's easy to go from 5->10 but not from 10->5.  To tell
you the truth, 10 almost feels borgish because it (seems) so much easier
to dodge torps and lock phasers at so many updates.  I prefer 5 due to
my TCP only connection, but I think 10 is a welcome change.

I'm curious as to how much "better" 20 u/s would be.  In this day of
modem connections and bad packet loss, I think a revision to SP to be
more tolerant of high loss and/or stddev might be a good project even
at 10 u/s.  As I recall, there is a much more robust network code in
the nbr server...maybe some of that can transfer over to the Vanilla
server.
