MicroPython is primarily for bare-metal, and there is no RTOS in the core. So probably it just spins as fast as the "CPU" can execute. Which will take up non-trivial amount of CPU on the host, when using an emulator. |

The QEMU port will spin in If you want to lower CPU time, you may achieve that by rewriting the console's UART interaction to be interrupt driven - and I guess you'll then need to implement your own version of |

thank you both. Now I understand current behavior is expected due to hot spins in UART read. |
