Ugh. This causes the process to be scheduled up to 10,000 times per
second, which is almost a busy wait. I would expect this process to
consume far more CPU than is necessary.
It would be significantly more efficient to use select() or poll() on
the connection to the X server so that the process is only scheduled
when there is something for it to do. Or failing that, at least
increase the sleep interval substantially.
