>>>A guy here at work wants to have more than one Read Events active at a time. He has a "dashboard" application from which users can run various other applications.

It depends on how you define "work", I suppose.

The foundation read was invented PRECISELY to keep applications from constantly processing loops that entirely consume the processor.

If you want to completely tie up a computer while waiting for someone to enter a wait state, I suppose it will work fine.

YMMV
