I am not sure. So far I have only seen individual timeouts for socket
operations. I am going to browse the Pharo code and see if there are some
constructs for timeout handling. I would like to be able to either pass a
Delay (for subseconds) or the seconds as Number. Maybe have two selectors and
make the one with a Number create the delay?

The number is treated as a second already. The result will make sure that the
internal blocks has been executed, on a slow system the 1s might be too low.
will send an updated patch later today
