It appears the fastest application cycle time on the MD5 currently is 50ms, which is 5x what it was on the MD4. Is this something that is planned to be improved in a future software or firmware release?
I need to be able to send out 10ms messages and it is just not possible from what I can tell on the the MD5 series.

The cycle time on the MD5 has been limited to 50 ms, when performing development tests at shorter cycle times we still see too much fluctuation in application cycle utilization and jitter in the time between period CAN messages.
We have ideas on how this could be improved, but until we have it working I don't want to promise a shorter cycle time.
My recommendation is to allocate fast messages on an MC4x/MC4xFS controller.
