It would be better not to have a delay of even .25 second in handling
C-g. It ought to respond crisply.
If the delay were made smaller, eventually it would be insignificant.
I don't know at what point that is reached.
Currently on some systems C-g handling can involve a delay of up to 1
second, the wait for "polling for input". That's because when it was
implemented there was no better facility to use than `alarm'.
Nowadays I gather there is one; we should change the polling interval
to something shorter than a second.
