Signalling from outside vs inside is a pretty old debate. I say signal 
from outside. Wait morphing aside for a moment...

He made a "correction" over in comp.lang.c++:
_______________
The Windows-times were summed-up times where each iteration included
the former iterations. Now it's corrected:

10000 rounds
inside:
         one:
                 2.04687 seconds
         all:
                 4 seconds
outside:
         one:
                 1.03125 seconds
         all:
                 1.14062 seconds
