Hi,
I am new to wince and was just worried whether the Sleep()
function would affect the performance of the system. Is this the
only way to implement polling in wince 5.0 drivers.

It's the polling, not Sleep that can impact system performances.
But since you have no ways to avoid it, keep it very simple and very
fast. For example if you have an I2C controller that can generate
interrupts, use them and do not poll the I2C controller status using a
busy loop. In this way the CPU could be used by other thread while
you're sending/receiving data on your I2C device and the impact of your
polling will be reduced.
