> In NIFI-408, a change was made to StandardRootGroupPort to poll for 100 millis instead of doing a non-blocking poll, and yielding if there were no results.  While I don't know the initial motivation for this change (thoughts, [~markap14]?), the current implementation is resulting in an excessive number of Timer-Driven threads stuck in the TIMED_WAITING state.  Essentially, if you have a high number of low traffic remote ports, you lose a substantial chunk of your timer driven thread pool to simply "waiting".
> My first thought would be to revert the change, possibly even without the context.yield.  Second would be to drastically reduce the poll timeout... 10 or 5 millis, although any choice is somewhat arbitrary and flow-dependent. EDIT: which probably makes it a candidate for a nifi.property 
> Any other thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
