The problem with idle is that it runs about 60 times every second, whether
it's needed or not.  Chances are that most of the times idle is called it is
not needed, consuming CPU cycles with no benefit.

In your case, where you need an action to be performed once after the repeat
loop, it seems a perfect fit for "send in XX millisecs".
