| Optimising the code was essential. Although computers are great for repetitive tasks, making them work unduly hard at high frequency rates persistently reduces their lifespan. This clock was going to perform a large number of calculations and then repeat that task up to ten times every second (user configurable). Giving the clock a breather between each trip around the loop is just taking care of the equipment. | Optimising the code was essential.
