Accelerometers losing values

[Michael Tansella]

When I use the attached python script in SHR , I get the following error in 
every Kernel. Sometimes 16 or 32 values get lost as you can see in the log. 
This doesn't happen if I set the sample_rate to 100 Hz. Is this a known 
hardware/kernel/python problem ?

What does the number in
/sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/lis302dl.1/overruns
in the new kernels mean?
