#72331 - Software delay overhead
Responding to: ???'s previous message

But the downside is, you still have to CHECK or POLL to see if the counter(s) has reached zero. This is additional software overhead

True, but it needn't be onerous - the software timer could set a bit on expiry, so the Poll is merely a bit-test instruction.

I don't think we know enough about adnan's application to be able to say whether or not it would be a problem for him.
