I am pretty sure that there were two factors involved:

1.	delays somehow getting magnified
2.	processEvent thinking it was behind (due to 1) and tossing events

(1) ist still there, I think, but a lot of delays seem to have been  
taken out, so it isn't as much of a problem any more.  (2) is now  
fixed, the corresponding code in processEvents seems to have been  
tossed itself.

The delay was independent of it actually performing the close.

Now seems to be fixed due to the event-tossing having been removed.

I am pretty sure it's not a classical 'performance' problem at all.
