I'm not sure - question for Peter, perhaps?

Not yet... By the way, what's the highest guide rate you've achieved? My set up can do just under 15 Hz with a sufficiently bright guide star - I think it's limited by the Lodestar's download rate - but the MaximDL guide star reacquisition algorithm also has issues with scintillation at that rate.
The SX AO takes about 5 ms to respond to tip/tilt commands, add in another 5 ms for data comms times, and in theory it should be able to accept corrections at up to 100 Hz. Pair it up with a high frame rate and sensitive video camera on a large scope, and I reckon we should be able to AO guide at up to 50 Hz with the right software. That speed would be in the right territory to start chasing high frequency seeing...
