Why? Running an empty loop a thousand times a second is literally almost nothing to any cpu released in the past 20yrs at least

  Running an empty loop with no sleep or other yield type operation will peg one of your cores if you pin it to that core. Int main() { while(1) {} } compile that with -O0 and see what happens.

    When did we say anything about no sleep or yield? That's completely different. Read the thread.

    "A thousand times a second" obviously implies sleep or yield unless your computer is old enough to be your grandfather.

  For science, literal proving hypotheses science

    Well, I already run my setup through a kilowatt. I don't see a difference with Python, which you can argue should be 10-100x less efficient: import time while True: time.sleep(0.001) also the script itself it bounces between 0% and 1% cpu usage

      What's the baseline? 30 watts or so?
