An heartbeat is dispatched every 10ms, by design. Would be interesting
to inspect further for the 0ms timedout poll.
The gettimeofday are due to the VirtualClock being checked at least
on every heartbeat but probably more than that. They might be reduced
to one-per-heartbeat by pretending time doesn't flow between them.
Another time checker is NetStream, btw. Would be interesting to compare
runs with and w/out videos to see how gettimeofday calls change.
The ioctl and read I'm not sure about. Any chance to get a call stack ?
