Just to be clear: is what you're seeing here expected behaviour because
you asked for an interrupt on every slight change ? Or do you think the
number of interrupts is too large for the changes you get ?

It seems that the best combination for games would be a threshold AND
a period. That way, you don't get interrupts until something has
actually happened, and at the same time you're protected against user
space getting starved by a flood of them (hmm, that's where the
metaphor breaks down :-)

The AOI bit in FF_WU_CFG_x seems to be able to do just that.
