Comment:

 Since this event manager based implementation is
 [http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2011-February/015953.html
 broken] and since my earlier implementation was not actually faster on the
 more representative `busyWontTimeout` benchmark, I conclude that I can't
 improve on the current timeout. So I'm closing the ticket.
