You can use a high resolution timer like EpikTimer (
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/EpikTimer ) to check if the delay
caused by calling Application.ProcessMessages will disturb your
communication. Like this:

Fetch current time;
Application.ProcessMessages
if TimeDelay > x ms then do something;
