It's definitely a maximum, because select() can return much sooner if
one of the I/O events being waited on occurs. If you call it a minimum
you imply that select() will not return until at least the specified
amount of time elapses, which is incorrect. Just because it may go
slightly over the specified time when no I/O events are pending does not
change anything -- FreeBSD is not a hard-realtime system and programmers
understand that. If anyone were to actually get confused by this, they
have to go back to school.
