Yes, I would count it as a bug in any application in fact. But these
benchmarks are used to determine which of the various _sleep functions
would be appropriate to use in the idle loop of the emulator while
not dropping too many frames. Sleeping for a minimum of 10 ms is a
lot if you want to achieve a steady 60 frames / second.
