You have good advice and I missed the “on startup” for the wait.

A common aggregation is about 10ms although most OSes can give you finer granularity accuracy if you ask for it and have permissions. It really depends on how long the task takes and whether there’s any non-uniformity in its processing to make finer granularity helpful or harmful.

Unfortunately some people do read advice like it’s mana from the gods instead of thinking through the implication on their specific problem.
