They already are, but just the builtin objects, *not* including IEMGUI. 
However, the way that they are pruned, they are sometimes not updated 
often: the appearance of a floatbox can hang while the server is too busy.

In contrast, DesireData has a minimum update rate of 50 ms of logical 
time. I can see tweaking that further, so that it is 50 ms of real time, 
or any other value of logical time or real time, and/or setting a max 
number of box updates per pass, or a max number of bytes of updates per 
pass.
