-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 due to some issue with threads and receiving messages from dbus, the
 datastore has shipped in the last two milestones with an active loop like
 this:

 {{{
     # XXX: The context/sleep loop is a work around for what seems
     # to be the mainloop blocking in such a way that the indexer
     # thread doesn't run until new dbus messages come in...
     # I intend to track this down post trial-2
     # really awful
     import time
     context = mainloop.get_context()
     try:
         while connected:
             context.iteration(False)
             time.sleep(0.0025)
 }}}

 This is making the process wake up every 2.5ms, which is specially bad in
 the xo.
