Did you ever do embedded software ?

The result of the event in the main queue is not having something 
displayed to a human, but may be a command to the attached "machine", 
which might be really fast.

Thus regular polling is an absolute no-go here.

Doing the polling "slow" results in huge latency regarding the events.

Doing the polling "fast" results in a huge processor overhead and thus 
in a huge overhead regarding anything else that the CPU is supposed to do.
