And unnecessary.  100Hz is probably fast enough.  If deriving the time of
day is cheap there's also no need for the heartbeat thread to compute the
time.  Then the heartbeat can probably be reduced to 20Hz to 50Hz since if
not updating the time its function is only to ensure the Vm checks for i/o
at regular intervals.
