That's exactly what I do.
When the "Limit frame rate to 60" option is chosen, the Aquarium goes to sleep if 1/60 second has not passed, returning control to the OS.
A side note: After returning control to Windows, the Aquarium has no idea when it will get some more clock cycles. It has very low priority, so all other apps are allowed to take all the clock time they need before the Aquarium gets any. That's why "Limit frame rate to 60" seldom results in 60 fps.
