Hm, perhaps a long Sysex dump takes less processing power than many CC
messages? Still strange that SoundDiver's MIDI monitor screws up too.

No. I should have done that.
I could also have watched the MIDI output on the scope. With repeating
three byte messages this seems possible. But since adding the delay
fixed the problem I didn't investigate any further.
