[Ecls-list] Problems with slime

[Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll]

Slime gets my computer at 100% activity because it has some strange way of
waiting for input: this is a loop over streams, inifite, using
read-char-no-hang without ever waiting. I am sure there are better ways of
doing this. This is in swank-backend.lisp -- do all implementations have
this problem?

(defun wait-for-streams (streams timeout)
  (loop
   (when (check-slime-interrupts) (return :interrupt))
   (let ((ready (remove-if-not #'stream-readable-p streams)))
     (when ready (return ready)))
   (when timeout (return nil))
   (sleep 0.1)))
