On Unix, you can get a `CPU %' reading of processes with `ps xu'.
Perhaps the Amiga has ways of monitoring what a process is doing?

I don't know the sound code, but it looks like SoundDMAFetch()'s
returning 1 is causing sound_poll() to return. That's causes a more
time consuming poll because the logic is
void sound_poll(void)
{
delayProgress++;
if (delayProgress >= delayTotal) {
if (SoundDMAFetch(buffer + localBufferWrite) == 1) {
return;
}
delayProgress = 0;
}
}
so perhaps the resetting of delayProgress should be before the
SoundDMAFetch() call, i.e.
delayProgress++;
if (delayProgress >= delayTotal) {
delayProgress = 0;
if (SoundDMAFetch(buffer + localBufferWrite) == 1) {
return;
}
}
Or perhaps it's correct that it should only be reset if SoundDMAFetch()
returns something other than 1, hence the `>=' test rather than `=='.

I'm guessing that on process exit all it's resources are cleaned up
automatically.
