It would seem to me that if the meters are checking their inputs 
n times per second, then if an export is occurring and is running say
3 times faster than real time, there is the possibility that a peak
could happen at a moment that the input isn't being checked, and thus
the peak levels could be reported differently during export than in
real time.  I wouldn't expect to see a huge difference in the reported
values, but I can see how this would happen.

Does this make any sense, or have I misunderstood how the meters
get their values?
