In the case of the GA144, busy looping increased the power consumption
noticibly (like from microwatts to milliwatts) but originally this was
about running Forth CGI's on an x86 server.  The concept of a web server
(httpd) in Polyforth then came up and I mentioned the busy looping
issue.  Typically on those small VM's, there are 100's of other people
with stuff on the machine, mostly idling.  Even if you have the server
to yourself, the power consumption difference is really substantial,
like a few watts at idle but 100+ watts when busy.
