Ok, well l added that interruptCheckCounterFeedbackReset many years ago  
to moderate the calling of
quickCheckForInterrupts which was being done each time that  
interruptCheckCounter default of 1000 decremented down to
zero. What I found on 33Mhz macs was that it was being called 2000  
times a second, hence we needed something to better indicate how often  
to call.

Because of the tight loop, I think the 116,998,772 means  we decrement  
interruptCheckCounter that  much in interruptChecksEveryNms (2  
milliseconds).  Mmm I'm wondering about the side effects when it gets  
so large because of a tight loop, which we exit and then need to change
down to oh say 20,000

PS also see where interruptCheckCounter gets set to zero, I wonder if  
it's masking this issue.
