the beauty of the short timeout hack is it doesn't affect things when the load 
is high, only when it is low. At high loads, the select loop will be kicking 
around very fast so the timeout doesn't come into it (and any delays caused by 
poor readable()/writeable() implementation wont be noticed either). At low 
loads, the select loop will be mainly kicked around by the timeout.

So a short timeout will increase the work for low loads, but will not increase 
the work at high loads.
