Wow.  When the UI is otherwise idle, anything over 2% is too much.

If nothing else is going on (e.g. no timers or activity on any of the
monitored file descriptors), the select() timeout might as well be
infinity.  The notifier will use 30 seconds as its "infinity" value.

Waking up every 50ms or even 200ms for that matter when there is no need
to is just wasting power, really.

It doesn't sound fun.  Knowing nothing about the 1.x codebase, I'm not
sure what else to say except to wish you luck. :)

Cheers,
