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.
