Of course. A "slow busy wait" is good enough in almost all circumstances 
(typically, the machine isn't doing anything important anyway during that 
the minimal time used). It certainly beats distorting one's design.

Of course, if there is a queue of jobs anyway, it makes sense to arrange 
that to be blocking so you end up waiting on that. But then of course you 
need a "stop" job else the supervisor ends up waiting forever.
