Comment (by jdemeyer):

 The thing with `sig_on()` is that everybody is claiming that
 `sig_on()`/`sig_off()` is extremely slow, using that as an excuses not to
 use it.

 But in reality, `sig_on()` and `sig_off()` together take about 21 clock
 cycles on a Xeon X7460 (On Linux 2.6.24 with glibc 2.7). It's something
 and it cannot totally be ignored, but it would only really matter in very
 low-level code.
