As I have previously stated I am willing to take on the maintainer role
for Jsonrpc.

I am interested in what both of you think about relying on undocumented
behavior.

To grasp the scope of this issue, an adapter server sent 50 000
messages. With `read-process-output-max' set to the platforms max, each
of those messages where placed on `timer-list' in the same call to
jsonrpc's filter function, which then had to be sorted as O(N^2)
(calls to timer--time-less-p). 

Which makes Jsonrpc unusable for that particular server.
