In tpm_transmit, after send(), the code checks for status in a loop with polling every 5msec. It is expected that the tpm might return earlier than 5msec, so it might be adding to unnecessary delay. This patch reduces the polling sleep time from 5msec to 1msec. After this change, performance on a TPM 1.2 with an 8 byte burstcount for 1000 extends improved from ~14sec to ~10.7sec.
