Excessive warnings about Timer woken up late on Windows

                 Key: QPID-2150
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-2150
             Project: Qpid
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: C++ Broker
    Affects Versions: 0.6
         Environment: Windows
            Reporter: Steve Huston
             Fix For: 0.6


The C++ broker when running on Windows, shows a lot of warning messages like:

2009-10-15 21:48:37 warning Timer woken up 15ms late

The lateness is usually between 10 and 15 msec, owing to the relative 
imprecision in waking up a thread on Windows. I have two suggestions for 
resolving this:

1. Change the message from warning to debug. I'm a bit concerned that, 
regardless of platform, if users of a product where speed is an issue start 
seeing messages about timers waking up late, they may be concerned, without any 
cause probably. I'm thinking that the only people interested in this message 
are those diagnosing things who may want to enable debug messages.

2. Allow a platform-specific value for the threshold at which lateness prompts 
a message. For example, the current 10 msec limit is tighter than is useful for 
Windows - 30msec would be better.
