Games usually run in a continual async loop. Currently, Io::Manager::poll blocks if there is any I/O to be done. Obviously, this would cause the renderer to stop displaying things. Instead, Io::Manager::poll should compare the number of "waiting" coroutines (i.e., waiting on input, timer, etc.) to the total number of task-coroutines. If they are equal (or less) then Io::Manager::poll should block to avoid unnecessary CPU usage. Otherwise, it should not block, so that CPU-intensive coroutines can keep running while other coroutines are waiting for I/O.
