Hi All,

I have a latency sensitive application that gets affected when it is moved between cores or the system has to wake from idling. I would like to run the thread in as tight a loop as possible and to do this i need to cause epollreactor to busyspin on receiving data. I have worked out how to do it by editing the twisted code directly by hard coding the value of `timeout` to be 0 at this location in the code https://github.com/twisted/twisted/blob/f074ba3d5083aa1503abcf194aece327e7f84805/twisted/internet/epollreactor.py#L370

Is it possible to actually set this on the reactor in a more sensible way so I don't need to patch the twisted codebase. ? Below is basically what I am doing.


```
    def doPoll(self, timeout):
        """
        Poll the poller for new events.
        """
+       timeout = 0
-       if timeout is None:
-           timeout = -1  # Wait indefinitely.

        try:
```

Cheers

Tim Hughes
