I did a quick write-up on how I use SiRF NMEA commands to configure  
my GPS module to communicate at 19200 baud and only send the 2 NMEA  
sentence types that I use for GPS data input to my robot.  Cutting  
out the unused sentence types reduces the number of UART receive  
interrupts by 69%!  This helps keep the CPU load down so I have  
enough processing time for other tasks.

Here's where I learned to do all this:
