Description
Less extreme variant of #4096: the new usleep
based loops in the flow manager and recycler consume too much CPU time. In busy systems this has been show to be more efficient than the old pthread_condtimed logic, but in lower end systems the usleep approach has too much overhead.
The reason for getting rid of the pthread_condtimed logic was that it would actually wake up millions of times per second on busy systems, leading to lots of overhead.
Perhaps we can make the usleep value configurable. On lower end systems there is no need to wake up frequently. Or optionally bring back the old behavior. Overall I'm not a great fan these kinds of options.
