Which issue does this PR close?

Closes #377

Rationale for this change

Improves performance, especially when using a more limited number of task slots by avoiding a longer sleep between runs.

Is there any reasoning behind picking 1 ms versus any other value? Would it be less overhead to sleep for longer here, maybe 10 ms? Should we make this configurable?

I think checking the value is really cheap (e.g. compared to grpc requests), so I did use the minimum to reduce the latency as much as possible when a job is running.

I wonder if we can use some lock or channel instead of this loop in the future to rewrite this without sleep 🤔 and use resources more efficiently...
