+ * Sets the (maximum) frequency at which the timeout list is checked. This,
+ * combined with readtimeout above, determine how accurately timed events,
+ * such as nick kills, occur; it also determines how much CPU time Services
+ * will use doing this. Higher values will cause less accurate timing but
+ * less CPU usage.
+ *
+ * This shouldn't be set any higher than 10 seconds, and 1 second is best
+ * if your system is powerful enough (or your network small enough) to
+ * handle it. 0 will cause the timeout list to be checked every time
+ * through the main loop, which will probably slow down Services too much
+ * to be useful on most networks.
+ *
+ * Note that this value is not an absolute limit on the period between
+ * checks of the timeout list; the previous may be as great as readtimeout
+ * (above) during periods of inactivity.
+ *
+ * If this directive is not given, it will default to 0. See the 2nd paragraph
+ * above for performance impacts if you do this.
