I put a yield() into the loop which *should* give control to
another thread.  Now, this won't lesson the CPU load as if the
other work is I/O bound the control will get given back to
listening thread.

As far as doing something better, one could implement some
throttling code or wait on a condition which other threads
signal after they close a descriptor.  I'm not sure which
I dislike more.
