as some background info: there are already some threading issues
around the service protocol. for example the session removal is
subject to multithreaded access currently...

i'll fix it in ajax eventually (it has bordeaux threads integrated
now) but it needs some nontrivial changes in/around the
service/dispatch protocol.

how about recording get-universal-time in a slot on app (e.g.
last-session-purge-time) and checking the time difference?
