Waking up twice per second and immediately
calling select() again on any hardware/OS built in the past 50 years
is going completely negligible (as long as you can ignore the smell).
CPU usage is not the only issue but it is a consideration. I tested it
before posting the code and couldn't see any significant increase in
CPU use. To give it a better test I have just left running for a
couple of hours or so. I am pleased to say it currently reports a
cumulative total of 0:00:00, i.e. it has not clocked up even a second
of CPU time yet!
I am beginning to wonder if time is being accounted properly. It has now
been running 8 hours and still shows CPU time as zero.
