[Live-devel] Do the test applications ever sleep?

That's correct.  If the server really is doing nothing, and there is nothing happening on any on any of its sockets, then "SingleStep()" - specifically, the call to "select()" at line 80 of "BasicTaskScheduler.cpp" - should take about 10ms on average.  (The reason for this is that there will be no activity on any of the sockets specified by "readSet", "writeSet", "exceptionSet", but "tv_timeToDelay" will be 10 ms (on average).)

If, however, you find that the call to "select()" is consistently taking much less than 10ms on your system, then you'll have to figure out what's going wrong.  (For starters, I suggest looking at the value of "selectResult" returned by the "select()" call; that should tell you why "select()" is returning early.)
