That's actually not a "problem", it's your solution
to a problem.  Can you describe the _real_ problem, what
you are trying to do?  _Why_ do you want to wait such
brief amounts of time?

I ask as someone with fairly extensive background in
realtime software (which is basically what it sounds like
you are trying to write here), and I suspect that you are
either trying to achieve something that's not really possible
on Windows XP, or that you are simply doing something that
is entirely unnecessary, probably for good reasons but
with too little experience of the issues involved.  Can
you expand on your situation?
