Some crude tests show that my 1 GHz P3 can execute about 1.2 million
calls to WaitForSingleObjectEx() in 1 second. However, this is about
3.5 times slower than a quick mock up of your polling function I put
together. Either approach, though, is pretty darn quick :). Unlike
SleepEx(), WFSO does not stall the thread.
