Yes, I am well aware of this.

What I was talking about was the timeout in the Becker routines in the
client. If it doesn't hear back from the server in a certain time
(nominally 0.25s) it should abort and report failure to the caller.
The time to wait is determined by CPU cycles. So if you run in an
overclocked emulator the X number of cycles will have passed much
quicker than 0.25s.
