Inefficient compared to what?

If you have a bunch of objects that you want to wait for
then I would expect it to be more efficient to use
WaitForMultipleObjects rather then WaitForSingleObject
in a loop. Sure, you can often redesign things so that
you don't need multiple objects in the first place but
that's a separate issue.
