I had heard in the context of GA144 Polyforth that it simply looped
through the task list eating cpu, instead of halting the processor until
the next i/o event or timer tick.  That burns a huge amount of cpu
cycles, using power, making heat, and making those cycles unusable to
other users on a shared hosting system.  Does it even run on x86 servers?
