While this technique works in theory, it’s a very bad idea in practice.

Although it works, it’ll force your CPU (or core) usage up to 99 or 100%, ironically when the code is meant to be doing *nothing*! Very strongly NOT recommended.

It’s a PITA that classic ASP doesn’t appear to have a proper Sleep command.

Do you have a way that doesn’t pin the CPU? I’ll have a think.. (I don’t really do much classic ASP anymore).
