Each timeout sets a new timeout, and so on and so on. This is exactly the sort of situation that we get into when chaining `Future`s, where each `map`/`flatMap`/`transform`/etc. schedules a another `Future` which, in turn will schedule another... etc. etc. This is exactly where we see clamping. In particular, the innermost `setTimeout` in this example will be clamped to 4 milliseconds (meaning there is no difference between `setTimeout(.., 0)` and `setTimeout(.., 4)`), which would slow down execution *even more*.
