yes ReadKey -1 on linux consumed almost all my cpu while with 0 cpu usage is minimal. On win32 with -1 the task manager shows only a ~5% of cpu, but I suspect other cpu cycles, another ~5%', are consumend inside 'conhost.exe and somewhere else: infact the overall cpu usage raised around 35%

Unfortunately I'm not in the postion to apply the win32 definitive fix :)
