An idle soul suffers hunger. -- Proverbs 19:15b
Solomon meant by this, do doubt, that stacks that use idle heavily tend
to consume CPU cycles and get sluggish.
BTW, if a more timely refresh is needed in a clock or other GUI display,
the more repetitive send-cycle handler can check whether the data has
changed and only update the control only if it has.
