Hello,

While working on a couple of projects, I encountered an issue where, when t=
he CPU was under heavy load, the flowgraph would start having dropped sampl=
es occur in a non-deterministic fashion. This was strange as the flowgraph =
was reading in data from a file and so it should've adjusted the speed as n=
eeded to work with the resources available. After some tests, the Polyphase=
 Clock Sync was found to be causing the issue. Basically, when under high c=
pu load, the presence of the block would lead to non-deterministic behavior=
 and the occasional dropping of samples. I then replaced this block with an=
 M&M timing tracking block and that has seemed to resolve the issue. This w=
as in GNU Radio version 3.7.14.0. I'm not sure if this issue has been point=
ed out or addressed before but I wasn't able to find anything online about =
it.
