That's a good suggestion. I'd be inclined to spin for 1 tick or so, then do
a timeout per tick after that (eg, shift from DELAY to pause(1)). It won't
be super accurate or high performance, but when the devices are slow, that
would add only a little extra time.

Ideally, that's what we'd do. In the short term, bumping the timeout
wouldn't be horrible.
