Even if you like the digest loop, why do you need the rest of the framework? Why not just use a lightweight alternative that provides that functionality?

The digest loop is highly flawed, as the article describes - it is not performant, and requires disabling for many common scenarios.

Worse, and I don't see this mentioned, is that the digest loop is not tied to any notion of lifecycle - you can accidentally keep retriggering it until you bomb out after 10 loops.
