Ahh, so you wish to use "wait" like in the old days when we in windows 
(16) used "yield" to let other programs get some processor time. The 
only difference is the demand/need to persist in between waits ?

I thought it had something to do with the network part of globulation to 
let all machines execute the same amount of functionality per node 
regardless of the hardware configuration, as a kind of fairness balancer :-)

And the argument must be in favor of the switch/case solution then :-)
