The last-resort timeout mechanism was inaccurate and often delayed in activation since the 2.0.0 release. It is now fixed and remains power-efficient in idle situations, especially with the wakeup reduction in MRI 1.9.3+. There is also a new document on application timeouts intended to discourage the reliance on this last-resort mechanism. It is visible on the web at: http://unicorn.bogomips.org/Application_Timeouts.html
