But since it could take anywhere from one elapsed second to many elapsed days for one CPU second to be consumed by the looping process, it might not be of much practical value. The original poster may have had in mind one CPU second as being consumed by the current task, but if the current task starts to wait for CPU time to be consumed then no CPU time will be consumed while it is waiting since it is waiting rather than executing any instructions. I am still at a loss to understand what was meant by waiting for 1 CPU second.
