Would be nice to have a way to clear the backlog when it gets overfull

When the application reading the data isn't fast enough to keep up with the speed data is coming in, it gets lagged out until it reads the entire backlog of data.

It would be nice of this was automated, so something inside get_*_data() where it does something like reading/clearing all the data in the buffer if it's over 5x the data length. That way it doesn't delete data unless it's behind.
