If you use e.g. "sleep 60" in your bash loop before asking the time

that drop the CPU usage to something subtly? I use a bash script. It's just a nested
loop. One loop keeps track
of the time interval between breaks. The other loop pops up PDFs of
stretching routines to do during the breaks.
I'd be a bit wary of resources. There's no direct access to time
functions in bash, always have to go through a high-level middleman.
The middleman would not get asked about time each fraction of a second,
but the bash loop to pace the asking could very well take some
noticeable CPU percentage. I guess to nice it down would be in order.
