  19.  
  20. GT_GetIMsg() does consume messages it _knows_ you don't need, such as
  21. minute changes in slider position that don't affect the coarse value,
  22. for example.  However, it can't know that you don't want INTUITICKS,
  23. so it has no choice but to pass them down.
  24.  
  25. Being prodded at INTUITICKS rate shouldn't be a problem, code-wise
  26. or performance-wise.
