The table below shows the execution time for this code snippet as
measured by the unix command `time':
for i in range(1000):
time.sleep(inter)
inter execution time ideal
0 0.02 s 0 s
1e-4 4.29 s 0.1 s
1e-3 4.02 s 1 s
2e-3 4.02 s 2 s
5e-3 8.02 s 5 s
Hence it seems like the 4 s is just overhead and that the time.sleep
method treats values below approximately 0.001 as 0.
Is there a standard way (or slick trick) to get higher resolution? If
it is system dependent it's acceptable but not very nice :)
