+ The Wait for Interrupt (WTINT) PALcall attempts to place the CPU
+ to sleep until the next interrupt. This may reduce the power
+ consumed, and the heat produced by the computer. However, it has
+ the side effect of making the cycle counter unreliable as a timing
+ device across the sleep.
+
+ For emulation under QEMU, definitely say Y here, as we have other
+ mechanisms for measuring time than the cycle counter.
+
+ For EV4 (but not LCA), EV5 and EV56 systems, or for systems running
+ MILO, sleep mode is not supported so you might as well say N here.
+
+ For SMP systems we cannot use the cycle counter for timing anyway,
+ so you might as well say Y here.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
