Hello, Henrik -- thanks for introducing yourself! New humans are always
welcome :-)

Your email is well-timed. We're in the process of defining ways in which
we can deliver testing for uTouch. Another Henrik on the list is
currently working on getting latency info out of various layers of the
stack. We'll be having discussions about this at UDS (with live, remote
participation) and it's one of the big areas we're focused on for Natty.

Great thoughts and ideas -- keep them coming! And we'll be checking
these out...
