strace repeatedly gives:
gettimeofday({1181924314, 21257}, NULL) = 0
poll([{fd=8, events=POLLIN}, {fd=7, events=POLLIN}], 2, 100) = 0
gettimeofday({1181924314, 122060}, NULL) = 0
futex(0x864dd70, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x864dd70, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x864dd70, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x864dd70, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x864dd70, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x864dd70, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x8afe480, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
gettimeofday?
guess it's 'sleeping' waiting for the next time to update?
