Comment (by anonymous):

 The problem isn't the use of waitable timers per se, but the use of
 `SetWaitableTimerEx`, which always wakes the system from sleep if
 possible. Boost.Thread should revert to using plain `SetWaitableTimer`,
 ensuring that `false` is passed for the `bResume` parameter so that the
 timer doesn't wake the system.
