+Subject: [PATCH] The smart scheduler itimer currently always fires after each request
+ (which in turn causes the CPU to wake out of idle, burning precious power).
+ Rather than doing this, just stop the timer before going into the select()
+ portion of the WaitFor loop. It's a cheap system call, and it will only get
+ called if there's no more commands batched up from the active fd.
+
+This change also allows some of the functions to be simplified; setitimer()
+will only fail if it's passed invalid data, and we don't do that... so make
+it void and remove all the conditional code that deals with failure.
+
+The change also allows us to remove a few variables that were used for
+housekeeping between the signal handler and the main loop.
