Details

This would need some testing, but I wonder if there are cases when we just stop running iCC slice and wait for the next slice even though there isn't really anything else pending in the event loop. We could easily check at the end of a budget whether there are pending events, and if not, just continue running iCC. (this is on child processes at least where event loop handling is simpler - in general no need to check pending OS events) Same applies to iGC too.
