That's just ridiculous. Can you send some hate-mail to Intel and tell
them what a bad idea this is? Half a millisecond is an eternity for a
CPU. What if the device is blocked only for 10 microseconds? Then it
will waste time by spending 490 microseconds idly.
Software engineers recognized that polling is a bad idea half a century
ago. Why can't Intel do this right?
Or does MFX have some sort of async mode that works without polling?
