I foolishly set the timeout of a Transient Object Container to a very high value while leaving the timeout resolution at 20.  Subsequent profiling revealed that Transience.py's getTimeslices was using 100% CPU for more than a second every time it was called, which was frequently.  This was due to it inserting tens of thousands of elements into the head of an empty list, one at a time.  While I learned my lesson, and bumped the resolution up to match the timeout, I also decided to fix getTimeslices.  A patch is attached.
