It shouldn't make a difference, but the newer code might be faster anyway, due 
to the decrease in pauses between messages.  Charles said the old code didn't 
start d/ling the next message until the current one was fully decoded, while 
the new code starts d/ling the next one right away, and decodes on a separate 
thread.  This is easier to do now, since apparently the gnet library handles 
the connection threading itself, leaving PAN proper to take care of other 
things, like decoding, and GUI display updating.
