This results in 100 % CPU (in a single CPU system) so not a very good 
idea IMHO. (Even the timer thread is crippled by the main thread.)

If you can live with some latency I would do something like:

    while not fStopExecution do
      begin
      CheckSynchronize;
      sleep(Max_Latancy);
      end;
