Hm.. probably we can make the CPU go to sleep when waiting for the next
vertical blank too.  I noticed that when I have vblank turned on on my
old system, CPU % went down from 100% to something a bit less (since
anyway TORCS has nothing to do until it can draw the next frame)...
but that probably has more to do with OpenGL.
