Having spotted this I'm also rather worried about systems
that are doing (eg) real time audio and need to wakeup a
lot of threads (less than the number of cpu) every (say) 10ms.

It is hard enough waking up a lot of threads quickly without
another 1ms delay being added.
(I'm only talking about 30 threads as well, not 300.)
