In some experiments with controlling finicky hardware, I discovered that
usleep has surprisingly high precision--I forget the numbers, but you can
pretty reliably sleep for a time substantially shorter than the scheduling
quantum. (Of course, if your process gets switched out, you will sleep
longer. Also note that I was testing on an 8-core machine, so my process
didn't need to spend terribly much time switched out...)
