Stupid question about bleeding CPU cycles to create a blank border on the top of the screen

I am trying to hide the top 16-pixels in my engine.

My vblank code is very predictable in how many cycles it uses, so after vblank is finished, I was considering attempting to bleed CPUcycles with some deterministically timed housekeeping tasks until I reach a point where I can enable the PPU rendering.

I know the PPU has a lot of quirks about its operation, so would this even be feasible?
