One of the things that I was thinking you'd get from locking higher would be 
a difference in the amount of time that the system would spend dealing with 
things happening on that port.  This may be true or not,  I can't say one way 
or the other.  Or it may be of importance only to those who are running 
multitaskers like the DV I run here.
I changed my setup a while back from 38400 to 57600 and couldn't really tell 
any difference one way or the other...
