Chinas is very large and they export a lot of electronic products. It is 
however a rather new phenomen, Shenzen was the first exprimental economic zone 
opened in 1980, the area is a little bit larger than the "county" or similar 
there I grow up in countryside and in 1980 I think population was similar 
around 30 000 but right now there is more than 10 million people. The 
population growth in the pearl river delta have been insane and economy for 
Guangdong province have grown more than 100 times.

Requirement on performance is not very high. It is almost always need for 
between three and six axis which will be around 6*32bits = 192 bits of payload 
each period, IO may be slower. A more reasonable amount is 8*64bits @ 1kHz = 
512bit @ 1kHz = 512kbit/s of payload at 1kHz. All counted full duplex.

With control loop at linuxcnc computer there and one driver card for each motor 
there would however be a need in the range of 2*3*1kHz to 2*8*1kHz messages per 
second. Or (1+3)*1kHz to (1+8)*1kHz if multi casting is used.
