for event in []:
print time.time()
event.get() will return an empty list if the event queue is empty.
With your code sample, this is happening many times per second thus using a
lot of cpu.
Only when there is actually events in the event list will the for block be
executed.
Stick the time.time() inside the while just before the event.get() and you
will get a better idea of how often event.get is running.
