100% cpu usage

[M. Warner Losh]

I've found a several rather serious performance problems with agent++
and snmp++v3.  The worst one is that agent++ will eat 100% of the cpu
all the time on FreeBSD.  The following patch fixes the problem for
Unix, but I don't know if it does for Win32.   It is against 3.1.6,
but a similar patch worked for the 3.1.4 series.  The problem is that
events aren't waited for, they are busy waited for.  This can cause
problems when your CPU is only a 133MHz 486 :-)

I'll post the other issues in other mail.
