The LCL does just that: polling.

If no events arrive, checksynchronize is not called.

There is the WakeMainThread function to try and force an event, 
but this can be called outside the LCL as well, thus achieving 
the same effect.

There really is no difference between the LCL or a non-LCL application in
this regard.
