Actually, the problem specifically here is the twisted glib mainloop
reactor integration. It plays with the timing internally and sets up a
timeout which causes the 10 times per second wakeups. If it were glib,
practically everything running in Ubuntu would be doing the same thing.
There is already a bug filed about this against ubuntuone-client,
though. And there was an attempt to fix the issue at one point, but it
wasn't working correctly and we had to back the change out.
