This is the issue [1]. I did a fix a while ago, but its preload (see issue) stops Delay processing while it loads, which locked up the UI loop and Integration Tool. That was recently fixed by issue [2], but I wanted to rebase the [1] on the latest Pharo - but first I should strip out #newCodeEnabled: wrappers to make review of [1] easier. There is a new issue [3] for that. Now if you tell me you are keen to review [3] and [1] when they are ready, I'll bump them to the top of my queue.

Good Morning Ben, Stef,
We really need people to have a look at the code of Ben.
I downloaded a Pharo-4 image today and executed:
time pharo --nodisplay --headless ./Pharo-40490.image eval "(Delay forSeconds: 5) wait" a Delay(5000 msecs)
real 0m1.254s user 0m1.192s sys 0m0.060s
So the first delay doesn't appear to wait the five seconds. I would like to work on kqueue/epoll and remove polling and it looks this involves code with Delay as well. I wonder if you could provide an overview of what needs to be done and what is done?
thanks holger
