AX = 1680h
Return: AL = status
00h if the call is supported
80h (unchanged) if the call is not supported
Notes: programs can use this function in idle loops to enhance performance
under multitaskers; this call is supported by MS Windows 3+, DOS 5+,
DPMI 1.0+, and in OS/2 2.0+ for multitasking DOS applications
does not block the program; it just gives up the remainder of the time
slice
should not be used by Windows-specific programs
when called very often without intermediate screen output under
MS Windows 3.x, the VM will go into an idle-state and will not
receive the next slice before 8 seconds have elapsed. This time can
be changed in SYSTEM.INI through "IdleVMWakeUpTime=<seconds>".
Setting it to zero results in a long wait.
this function has no effect under OS/2 2.10-4.0 if the DOS box has an
"Idle Sensitivity" setting of 100
