Motivation: Currently in the single threaded and global event executors when the scheduled task queue is drained, there is a call to hasScheduledTasks(). If there are scheduled tasks then the the code polls the queue for tasks. The poll method duplicates the exact logic of hasScheduledTasks(). This involves two calls to nanoTime when one seems sufficient. Modifications: Directly poll the queue for tasks and break if the task returned is null. Result: Should be no noticeable impact on functionality. Two calls to nanoTime have been coarsened into a single call.

How to build
For the detailed information about building and developing Netty, please visit the developer guide. This page only gives very basic information.
You require the following to build Netty:
- Latest stable Oracle JDK 7
- Latest stable Apache Maven
- If you are on Linux, you need additional development packages installed on your system, because you'll build the native transport.
Note that this is build-time requirement. JDK 5 (for 3.x) or 6 (for 4.0+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.
Branches to look
Development of all versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to <majorVersion>.<minorVersion>. For example, the development of 3.9 and 4.0 resides in the branch '3.9' and the branch '4.0' respectively.
