Wouldn't a heapq work as well for those two?

In my experience, networking entities typically start a timer at each interaction and cancel the pending one. So you have numerous timers that virtually never expire. You might have 100 interactions per second, each canceling and restarting a 10-minute timer.

I don't know first hand if that causes heap queues to cause measurable heap or CPU pressure.
