I'd be really interested in knowing how this performs compared to simply 
using using ruby threads and #sleep (e.g. timeout.rb or similar 
mechanisms). In a lightly/moderately/heavily loaded environment, are the 
timing errors worse or better? How about reliability? If there are 
several posix timers armed, do signals get lost if one handler is 
running while another expires?
