my understanding is that i2c is usually the seesaw bottleneck

that's the real seesaw bottleneck

unless you have a ready pin, but I assume it still takes time

#

bulk reads also take 8ms, so they are preferred if possible

haha yeah I have accounted for that crazy sleep(). The lag can be reduced by reading one knob at a time through the UI loop. like what I did here: https://github.com/todbot/seeknobs/blob/main/circuitpython/knobs_midi.py

I did hack an async version of the library, so that multiple devices could be read in "parallel", that doesn't help for a single device though
