Any infinite loop needs to have throttling, which generally is done in
SDL programs with SDL_Delay() so that the loop executes no more than
once every e.g. 10 msec.

t4k_common has a convenience function called T4K_Throttle() for this
purpose, simply because we were writing identical throttling code in
loops throughout the programs.
