No, if anything that would be a "critical under limit" - ie critically 
too slow.  "Over limit" means sensor reading exceeds a limit value.

There's ENVSYS_DEBUG and ENVSYS_OBJECTS_DEBUG but they probably won't 
add much benefit.  One of the things I intend to add over time is some 
better debugging.  As others have pointed out, it's a convoluted piece 
of code and difficult to navigate.
