If I'm running DOS in a production environment on real hardware I (personally)
would make sure the hardware could handle it and not overheat. There are
plenty of industrial solutions out there that will do this. So I do think this
issue applies more to VMs.

Note that SSH2DOS uses WATTCP. WATTCP already includes a "yield function" which
can be used to provide for "multitasking" which in this case is a HLT. Simply
write a small function that does nothing but HLT, then set the WATTCP yield
function to point there, then recompile... I have had success with this method
on the old WATTCP FTP client. Maybe if I ever get the time this could be a
good contribution for me to make... (since I think it's so easy and all that..
:-)
