> BlockPoolSliceScanner uses {{Time.now}} to calculate an interval. But this
> is incorrect, since if the wall-clock time changes, we will end up setting
> the scan periods to a shorter or longer time than we configured.
> There is also a case where we may divide by zero if we get unlucky, because
> we calculate an interval and divide by it, without checking whether the
> interval is 0 milliseconds. This would produce an {{ArithmeticException}}
> since we are using longs.
