[vbox-dev] Setting IPerformance interval using webservice

[Aleksey Ilyushin]

Hi Joe,

Could you post the code fragment that does it? It would be much easier  
to understand what is wrong. Btw do you ever let go of the  
IPerformance handle? Because if you do the process on the server end  
will die shortly and all the settings will be lost. The settings are  
not persistent.

Regards,
Aleksey
