[Sikuli-driver] [Question #270582]: Problems setting Setting.WaitScanRate in Sikuli 1.0.1

New question #270582 on Sikuli:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/270582

Hello, 

I have searched the forums and while I have read posts that seem to apply to 
the problem I am having, I can not nail down a workable solution.  I am using 
Sikuli 1.0.1, and I am coding in Java on a Windows 7 machine.  I am also fairly 
new to coding in Java and using Sikuli.

My problem is this:  

I have an array of 10 small images (10x15 pixles in size) that I iterate 
through looking for a match using r.exists and when a match NOT found there 
seems to be a delay of ~300 ms before the next check is made.

Here is the code:

int i =0;
for(Pattern p : pNumberArray){
if(r.exists(p.similar(.9f), 0) != null){
System.out.println(library.getTime() + " Image Found: " + p);
return i;
}
System.out.println(library.getTime() + " Image not found: " + p);
i++;
}

Here is the result when I run the above code.

12:19:01:032 Image not found 
12:19:01:365 Image not found 
12:19:01:698 Image not found
12:19:02:031 Image not found
12:19:02:364 Image not found 
12:19:02:697 Image not found

I was hoping using a 0 for (r.exists(p/similar(.9f), 0) would fix the 300ms 
delay problem but it does not.

I then read up on 'Settings.AutoWaitTimeout' 
(https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/251337) but ruled it out as not 
applicable in my case.  As I understand it, using the 0 in 
(r.exists(p/similar(.9f), 0) forces a one time check of the image and 
immediately returns the match if found or NULL if not 
(https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/251337), so there should be NO 
delay in a response whether an image is found or not.

Searching forum posts turned me on to 'Settings.ScanRate' 
(https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/194144) so I tried setting 
'Settings.WaitScanRate = 100;' so that it would search for a match for no more 
than .01 seconds and return the result, but changing that setting had no 
effect.  I also tried a variety of values including, 500, 1, .1f, and .01f but 
the results when running the code above was always the same with ~300 ms delay.

So all that being said, that leads to my questions:
1) I assumed that setting the timeout to 0 when using exists on a region 
(r.exists(p/similar(.9f), 0) would result in NO delay in a response whether an 
image is found or not.  That is not the case.  Why is there a ~300 when the 
timeout is set to 0?

2) I assumed that setting 'Settings.WaitScanRate = 100;' would force a search 
result at the end of .01 seconds.  It does not.  Am I missing something about 
how this works?

3) One post I read mentioned that there used to be an issue setting the values 
of Settings fields wouldn't work because the variables used a 'protected' 
modifier, but I can change the value and see the results of modifying the value 
between 'Settings.MoveMouseDelay = 1;' and 'Settings.MoveMouseDelay = 0;' so 
that leads me to believe that I can change the value of Settings fields.  Is 
the 'Settings.WaitScanRate' indeed a protected variable and one that I cannot 
change?

I spent hours and hours and hours reading forum posts and experimenting with 
different code combinations but I can't get rid of the ~300ms delay when an 
image is NOT found.

Thanks in advance for any wise words of wisdom!
