digital pin reporting in Firmata v2 won't work as expected

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. upload Standard_Firmata sketch to an Arduino Nano
2. run Funnel Server
3. run a sketch in Ruby


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
If digital pins are enabled (default), the responce on the input side goes
very slow. The output side looks fine. As a workaround, modifiy as follows
to surpress digital input reports:

void loop() 
{
//    checkDigitalInputs();
