What is an indecent implementation? They all have to wait for
higher priority tasks, and the race condition can happen to any Ada 83
system, so what else can go wrong? Slow code? Slow OS?
On the MS-Intel platforms, the OS is the main impediment, with a
very large clock'tick and a very slow Calendar.Clock call. That
could be easily fixed in DOS, but not in modern MS OSes.
