[Simh] No recognizable idle loop

So how about a process (the idle utility) that runs at extremely low priority and increments an IO register (defined within SIMH) in a very tight loop.  SimH periodically (what ever that means)checks the value, resets it and sets sleep parameters accordingly.

The higher the count, the longer the sleep.  If the "idle utility" is not running under VMS, the value never gets incremented, and simh assumes that the VAX is running under full load....
