Yah, I think so.

Greg H, care to make the change? It's issue #542. After a rude fix
like unconditional sleep(1), you could see how it affects real-world
performance and decide based on that whether the issue is fully
resolved or whether further optimization is needed (if any is
possible).

(If not enough free time to do this, please let us know).
