It only sleeps at the top of the loop.  Yes, it's inefficient, but not
that much more so.  Remember, this was only for testing.  A wait
condition could help but would also open up a whole new can of worms.

I'm going to look at the speed change needs again and see if I can do
something without a mutex that won't have race conditions.
