annotate libpurple/imgstore.h @ 17697:ae7a4134e499

Changing this timer to run every 50 milliseconds instead of every 5 milliseconds. The timer is used to integrate our glib mainloop with silcclient's mainloop. Some Red Hat people complained that the timer causes the CPU to wake up really often and that hurts out power consumption on laptops and what not. Ideally the integration wouldn't need the timeout thing and would instead by event-driven. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=242398
