Thanks Markus,

actually your board is not what concerns me, 20 ticks is still ok, more
or less, but there are other machines which contain absurd values in
there like 0x37ee or 0x1000 (a Broadcom chipset). We'll need to give a
change like that a good run before we can be absolutely sure it doesn't
break any machines.
