I think the comment should be moved 2 lines below its current place,
that's all.

I didn't see any example in your OP, only a profile.  What did I miss?

And no, this is not supposed to slow down typing in any significant
way, as long as you type, because sit-for is supposed to return as
soon as input is available.  Your complaint was about CPU usage, not
about time delays, AFAIU.
