-w eats CPU

[AeliusSaionji]

The -w chews on a rather disturbing amount of CPU (12% of 4.43GHz).

Normally there isn't much of a wait but I had something wrong with explorer and the toasts weren't running consistently, which is how I noticed.

Ah. Yeah this is one of my less brilliant moves. Since there is an indeterminate amount of time for the notification to be active I was just spinning in a while loop waiting for the toast notification to return. I'll do some experiments with turning that into a polling loop with a thread sleep and see if that gets things set right.

I'm going to hesitantly close this as fixed, pending more issues. Instead of spinning, it should now use a polling loop and Thread.Sleep to be a little more frugal with system resources.

There seems to be a trick in getting this to work with 8.1- on my other two computers I had to play around with it for a bit to get it working.

I'm having strange behavior on my newest laptop (doesn't work, gives an error when using -w with -m, no error but waits indefinitely with -t, etc). I can't get it to work, but....

This gives me a chance to test out your fix!
On this laptop, i7-4500U clocked at 1.80GHz, toast is using 25% of the CPU. :(

Time to reopen this one then.
