Bug#630570: worklog: Worklog uses a bit too much cpu

[Ariel <asdebian@dsgml.com>]

Package: worklog
Version: 1.8-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Worklog wakes up 1000 times per second to check for a keypress and update the time.

That's excessive and causes increased power consumption for a laptop.

The fix is very simple:

In the line:

          for(keypress=ERR;keypress==ERR;usleep(1000))

Change the usleep to 100000 making it wake up 10 times per second which is sufficient.
