IPR and max samples

Is there a way to limit the max. samples used by IPR? When scrubbing an animation it would be nice to be able to limit the IPR to like 10 samples to speed things up. I suspect that this has probably more to do with I only have one video card but having an automatic way of stopping the render form going to 16000 samples would be great. If there is already a way to do this great but I searched the forums and could not find it.

Thank you for any help.

Yes, you have an option in the plugin options panel "IPR stop using kernel samples" to stop IPR rendering with the samples value of the kernel.
