There is at least one popular Fax package that reads a data queue several times 
a
second to see if there is anything to do.  This seems to me to be incredibly
wasteful, and a constant drain on system resources (wouldn't it make more sense
to read the data queue with an unlimited wait (or even a long wait) and only
process the entry when there is real work to do?)

Hopefully you'll do a test of the fax packages, and do a little further inquiry
on any chew up 3-5% of CPU resources even when there is nothing to do.
