Squeak is doing a *lot* of gettimeofday()

Hello,

When I start squeak under Linux 
i686-pc-linux-gnu 3.0 #1 XShm Wed May 30 01:50:39 BST 2001 gcc 2.95.4
Linux riva 2.4.2 #2 Sun Mar 4 13:10:57 GMT 2001 i686 unknown
default plugin location: /usr/lib/squeak/3.0/*.so

or

i586-pc-linux-gnu 3.1a-4164 #1 XShm Mon Feb 11 22:52:18 CET 2002 gcc 2.95.4
Linux archer 2.4.17 #7 Sun Feb 3 10:15:33 CET 2002 i586 unknown
default plugin location: /usr/local/lib/squeak/3.1a-4164/*.so

and make an strace, I'll get lots of 
gettimeofday({1013465648, 161481}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1013465648, 161564}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1013465648, 161660}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1013465648, 161742}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1013465648, 161836}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1013465648, 161920}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1013465648, 162014}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1013465648, 162097}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1013465648, 162191}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1013465648, 162274}, NULL) = 0
(repeated until I stop the process).
I'm able to work with squeak, but on my Internet server, it eats a 
lot of CPU-time, and I think this comes from these calls.

Thank you,
		Markus Fritsche
