How often do we hit this line?

Every time we do a full scan of all the ports, so very often but I don't think there's a way to avoid that overhead.

So that is when we have something on the device actually using the RPC mechanism then we will hit this overhead, right?

Yeah, it might make it slightly slower if you're hitting RPC hard. As in, every thread constantly submitting requests.

Ok, but if this only occurs when you actually hit RPC I'm much less concerned and think this is fine for now.
