That's something I might need to consider if there's too much I/O on the
SD card. I was also considering the possibility of limiting the amount
of messages that fidopoll gets from the hub when you run it, but I
haven't seen any options for that. Right now I'm in the process of
waiting for my fsxNet address, so I can't test it yet. I wonder how many
messages it'll poll the first time I run it and whether that can
overwhelm my Pi 3.
