	Dear Netlanders,

    I'm working on rewriting and optimizing some code for my company's
    product. Currently our baseline software consists of a ruotine that
    when interrupted in real time (say less than < 1200 times per second)
    posts a message to a VRTX queue. The message is pulled of the queue
    and serviced. To optimize our code and allow the system to really 
    scream we have decided to let the interrupt perform the actual
    message service routine, thus eliminating the overhead of passing
    the message. Currently I am noticing some strange timing problems.
    What I need to know is: Does anyone out in Netland have any exerience
    with a problem similar to mine. All questions, comments and suggestions
    will be gladly appriciated.

					Thanks in Advance,

					Eric
