       | That's just 1 way of dealing with wait time. And not even a good
       | one: some wait times can only be reduced at ever-increasing
       | effort (diminishing returns).
       | 
       | Another way is to make the wait time useful so it's not 'lost'.
       | It's kinda like a scheduler in multi-tasking OS: some process
       | 'blocks' (wait time starts), in response you just switch to a
       | different activity. No busy waiting, no 'cpu time' lost.
