sleep(2) says.
DESCRIPTION
Sleep suspends the current process for the number of mil-
liseconds specified by the argument. The actual suspension
time may be a little more or less than the requested time.
from experience, i've found that stock 386 kernels on older hardware
yield a sleep resolution of 10ms or more.
so clearly the argument to sleep is not directly tied to the resolution of
the clock. and i think tying the two together would invent a
new requirement and assume too much on the hardware.
