I don't know if it is the best pattern, but I appreciate the split made by
the Chromium developers: have separate main loops for different purposes:
networking, UI, etc.  Thus you could have a Boost.Asio main loop with timer
events and simply send a timer message to the 0mq main loop.

Its also relatively easy to replicate Windows' thread pool timers with
C++11 Chrono to perform such a function and thus very portable.
