OK, in that case, reducing TIMEOUT_USEC from 10000 to 5000 improves
response time dramatically: the mean wait time after the select goes from
0.002 secs to 0.0004 secs.
There's still an oddity though, a Ctrl-C sometimes takes a noticeable 
delay before being effective. I wonder if this has something to do with
what was reported on linux 2.6.24 kernels (I'll give a try to the latest
2.6.25-rc).
So for the moment, I'd recommend reducing TIMEOUT_USEC as well.

Frederik
