Subjectusleep magically reduces cpu load?
From
Why does this use up about 5% CPU (on my system) (pseude code of course)

while (data,size = get_data) {
write(/dev/dsp,data,size);
}

And this only uses about 0%:

while (data,size = get_data) {
write(/dev/dsp,data,size);
usleep(1);
}

I've also tried replacing the usleep with sched_yield() but that did
nothing.
