In short, I don't think there is really any problem here. A busy loop should produce 100% CPU usage.

While I agree that a simple busy loop should produce 100% CPU usage, I think that a tasking loop with regular calls to sleep() should not, since the OS has the opportunity to schedule other programs.

This raises the question: How does one go about implementing a non-busy-looping version of wait_key() that allows other tasks to run while waiting for a key press?
