I actually use yield_timeslice() in my app. It's a level editor, and without 
a yield, it eats winamp's timeslice so much that winamp fails to keep up 
it's rendering. So, yes, it does come into play. At least when using tools. 
3dsmax for instance, only takes 100% cpu when rendering, otherwise, it plays 
nice with everything else.

One more thing, has anyone considered that having different wait times 
per-OS could cause problems? I mean, if you had a crossplatform networked 
game, and one copy waits 10ms, and one waits 25ms, couldn't that be a 
problem? I'm not sure. Maybe it should be noted that they don't wait the 
same per-OS.
