Ah? The manual page of epoll_wait() says: "The timeout argument specifies the minimum number of milliseconds that epoll_wait() will block. (This interval will be rounded up to the system clock granularity, and kernel scheduling delays mean that the blocking interval may overrun by a small amount.)" I read minimum, not maximum here :-) If epoll_wait(timeout_ms) may wait less than timeout_ms seconds, asyncio algorithm is wrong, or at least inefficient. It should loop until the time delta is at least total_timeout seconds.
