> For ats_speed, changing the fast_signal argument's default from false to true  in I_EThread::schedule helped improve latency when scheduling an event from an external thread pool (up to 5 ms per scheduled operation).
> This ticket at least documents this fact, and can perhaps serve as a discussion point. Perhaps it's worth it to make a setting out of this hard coded default.
> I'm not sure that setting fast_signal to true would be a good idea in general, as there probably is a cost to it. It was working fine for us though, and considering ats_speed's cause (leaning towards favoring user agents) I think it can sometimes be beneficial.
