Getting the system time is very costly. With this setting, imudp can +be instructed to obtain the precise time only once every n-times. This logic is +only activated if messages come in at a very fast rate, so doing less frequent +time calls should usually be acceptable. The default value is two, because we have +seen that even without optimization the kernel often returns twice the identical time. +You can set this value as high as you like, but do so at your own risk.
