 Qt requires the Qt::Application to be instantiated first, but will
 otherwise be picked up automatically. As long as the main program
 If L<AnyEvent::Log> is not loaded then this function makes a simple test
 to see whether the message will be logged. If the test succeeds it will
 load AnyEvent::Log and call C<AnyEvent::Log::log> - consequently, look at
 the L<AnyEvent::Log> documentation for details.
-If the test fails it will simply return.
+If the test fails it will simply return. Right now this happens when a
+numerical loglevel is used and it is larger than the level specified via
+C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>.
 If you want to sprinkle loads of logging calls around your code, consider
 creating a logger callback with the C<AnyEvent::Log::logger> function,
 which can reduce typing, codesize and can reduce the logging overhead
 enourmously.

+=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY>
+Perl has inherently racy signal handling (you can basically choose between
+losing signals and memory corruption) - pure perl event loops (including
+C<AnyEvent::Loop>, when C<Async::Interrupt> isn't available) therefore
+have to poll regularly to avoid losing signals.
+Some event loops are racy, but don't poll regularly, and some event loops
+are written in C but are still racy. For those event loops, AnyEvent
+installs a timer that regularly wakes up the event loop.
+By default, the interval for this timer is C<10> seconds, but you can
+override this delay with this environment variable (or by setting
+the C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY> variable before creating signal
+watchers).
+Lower values increase CPU (and energy) usage, higher values can introduce
+long delays when reaping children or waiting for signals.

+polling (with most event loops).
