       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.
