I tried raggle to see if it would cause a similar amount of wakeups,
and it does;  Once it settles into a steady state (after it's checked
each feed on startup), it does ~95 wakeups per second, just like sup.

Sorry for what appears to be a false alarm; I'll take this question to
some ruby folks.

Thanks,
