Never said it wasn't an issue ... just pointed out an assumption
that optimizing for hundreds/thousands of events per second was
the wrong way to go. Most systems don't have that many events
in an entire day, except maybe when they reboot.
Systems that are "under-powered" have other tools available,
like having /sbin/hotplug be a custom C program. Hmm, where
have I heard of such a thing before, Greg? :)
