This isn't related to the bus speed problems. This is just making the laser read as fast as it can; so we can get as many readings as possible during the speed run; this change gives us approximately 50 readings per second per device instead of 30.
The trade-off is a couple of percentage points of accuracy, but that should be acceptable. We can always play around with it if not.
