Title:
  [request] non-continuous wait needed

Status in Sikuli:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I found that using "wait" seems to be chewing a lot of CPU cycles and impacts the underlying app I am trying to test.
  When I run Sikuli and the test application on separate machines there are no problems. However when I run the sikuli and the test app on the same machine, sikuli slows down the test app significantly.

  I narrowed the problem down to the "wait" statement. I timed the test
  app when I did wait(non-existent-image,100) and I saw that the
  underlying app response was x5 times slower at the least.

  Of course I can write my own "mywait" that will do something like:

  attempts=NN
  while not exists(img) and attempts>0:
    sleep(2)
    attempts=attempts-1

  Ideally I would like to be able to tell "wait" to examine screen at
  certain interval, not continuously.
