After a few tests, I see that it's actually the best way, since it works
on DOSBox, DOSemu, and VirtualBox making
I still haven't figured out any simple way of performing time
polling with sub-55ms precision, so I will probably leave it as is
(that's not a very big deal anyway).
There actually is a way to do this, but you have to combine BIOS data with I/O

performing an int15h AX=5305h at every iteration to notify
