I've prototyped a fix for this issue which will now only wrap every 585,000 years or so. It also removes the 1/50th of a second timer resolution for the runtime. This means that the additional 20ms (or thereabouts) of delay in the wakeup has gone.
This means that GHC is now on a par with any other program, i.e. down to the resolution of the jiifies within the O/S. I've done the non-Windows branch of the GHC.Conc - but I'll need some help with the windows branch. Anyone out there able to help with the intricacies of Windows?
