Question about a process on 24.04

I have a process that does "polling" of relays.
It just continues to run - never sleeps
(I think the OS does not like this and schedules my CPU time as penalty)

If the process runs as is I get "read timeouts".
However if I put an a 100msec delay - so "give time" back to the OS - it is
happy and I never get read timeouts.

Is there a way to tell the OS that its OK for this process to ALWAYS be
running and polling or read relays to see if they are active and not give
my process a penalty for always running ?

How do I do that ?

Thanks

Jerry
