This patch adds a new crate: tokio-timer. This crate provides an
efficient timer implemeentation designed for use in Tokio based
applications.
The timer users a hierarchical hashed timer wheel algorithm with six
levels, each having 64 slots. This allows the timer to have a resolution
of 1ms while maintaining O(1) complexity for insert, removal, and firing
of timeouts.
There already exists a tokio-timer crate. This is a complete rewrite
which solves the outstanding problems with the existing tokio-timer
library.
Closes#146.
Some of the benchhmarks were broken and/or using deprecated APIs. This
patch updates the benches and requires them all to compile without
warnings in order to pass CI.
Mio should be providing the compatibility layer so there is no need to
run CI on OS X as well as Linux.
Benches are currently being skipped as the Tokio reform work progresses.
