I used a hex editor to skinny down the Right and Left command text files making them as short as possible.
One thing I did differently that's worth passing on comes from this posting on the thread noted above:

Not me. I played the script back on the PW3 using
more instead of
echo:
more touch.txt > /dev/input/event1
My loop repeats forward to the end, then backwards back to the beginning, then repeats.
Tips for those who follow:
- Turn the screen saver off from the Helper menu first.
- Turn on USBNet--I occasionally have to turn it off, then back on to connect.
- Connect using your favorite method. I used PuTTY.exe.
- Run the triggering script in the background--using an ampersand.
- Stress test your implementation.
I'd like to have a more elegant way to activate and deactivate the script from the Helper menu, or in a menu of my own. My script loops permanently until I power it down to shut it off--programmer I'm not... yet. I'm on the Wiki
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/KUAL_What%27s_New looking for how to customize KUAL for my purposes.
Another helpful change will be figuring out how to merge the thread that discusses disabling the screen's touch interface--the untouchable kindle:
