the semantics of the second parameter to slime-read-port-and-connect is the number 0.2sec retries to perform check for the swank-port-info file existence before failing.

the question why is this feature not used -- both callers in slime.el specify this parameter as nil, effectively ignoring this graceful degradation feature...

I guess i should have looked better before asking, as currently the function loops indefinitely until it connects, without an upper cap on attemption retry count, which is a sufficiently reasonable behaviour...
