+Never mind this comment:
+
+THis is *really* *really* dubious. You need to do something like
+"calcuate the next time you will wake up, and wait on an object with
+that timeout. Pulse the object if a new timer is added". This will
+wake up the CPU far too often, and (for example) waste battery power.
+It is a blocker for this patch.
+
+The sleep is dubious, but it's not polling the cpu like i thought it
+was. It's 3 am here ;-)
