The answer is hardware interrupts. CPU power efficiency is strongly tied to how long the CPU can stay asleep ( 8+ ms is apparently a good number ), and random wakeups work against that. If multiple threads can synchronize or coalesce their timer waits then the system becomes more power efficient. It’s fifteen lines of code.
