Well... it is not surprising that your progress bar takes *some* CPU;
and since
your main tasklet isn't really doing much, the tasklet switching time
will
look relatively large in comparison.

Yes. You need a smarter mechanism for ManageSleeping (perhaps it
should exit when there are no tasklets
sleeping and only get started when the sleeping count goes from 0->1).

Yep. ManageSleeping is using all your CPU (if you look carefully it
should be obvious why...
the .schedule() call winds up just re-scheduling itself in the case
when it is the only tasklet).
I believe someone posted a better ManageSleeping at some point...
Idea: if ManageSleeping is the only running tasklet and there is no
tasklet ready to run again,
simply call time.sleep(endTime-time.time())
