Just thought I would highlight PopFile. Popfile, the spam mail scanner, causes wakeups at the rate of 20 per second.
It is caused by a select() statement in Loader.pm, which sleeps for a measly 0.05 seconds between polls.
I have found popfile works quite satisfactorily if I set the sleep to 0.5 - and would probably be just fine with an even longer sleep - after all, how often do we retrieve e-mail and I guess that a longer sleep would only delay mail retrieval by, at most, that amount.
