this is not correct, its much more:
http://lists.iptel.org/pipermail/semsdev/2008-January/002015.html
The relation is about 750 cps vs 80 cps, which is ~ 9 times performance 
increase.

I don't know where this figure comes from, it is as well much more (I 
said this: 
http://lists.iptel.org/pipermail/semsdev/2008-February/002221.html , 
1000 cps on lo on a laptop, versus a quad xeon over lan).

you can help by trying out your application with the new plugins and 
report any possible issues.

i.e. i would say it should be part of 1.0 release, but marked as 
deprecated. After that release I would move for removing it, in favor of 
more flexibility that new control plugins provide.
