Indeed.

You would win your bet.

CPU usage is not the only issue but it is a consideration. I tested it 
before posting the code and couldn't see any significant increase in CPU 
use. To give it a better test I have just left running for a couple of 
hours or so. I am pleased to say it currently reports a cumulative total 
of 0:00:00, i.e. it has not clocked up even a second of CPU time yet!

LOL. I know that's tongue in cheek but I tend to favour portability over 
most other things. So running on Windows as well as Unix is, in my book, 
a Good Thing.
