There are a number of wait times in the cycle. You are raising a good
point here. If there is only a chance of a click event to get through
during those wait times it doesn't make sense to check this flag.

But, there is also a sub called by a timer periodically that might set
it. I presume your point is true for timer events as well.

And there are calls to dll functions that take some time to complete.
I don't know whether they block processing of events or not.
