What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Configure "Switch on double tap within 50ms"
2. 50ms makes me very hard to switch from server to client
3. BUT I can easily switch from client to server with single-direct mouse moving -- which means maybe there's something wrong with the setting on the client.
4. Barrier 2.4.0 works well.

Additional information

I do observe a slightly different behavior on the client if I check/uncheck "Switch on double tap", which means probably the configuration is indeed applied to the client. But Deskflow on the client seems failed to decide whether it should trigger switching.

Maybe this issue has something to do with network latency.
