Hi
I need to add sleep function in some procedure, I found some sleep function
Let me start by asking you something: "Why do you need this?"
Is it perhaps because some function (feature) in your code needs to wait
for other functions (features) to complete/finish?
If yes, then please don't use setTimeout() nor nsITimer but use the
nsIObserverService to notify your code, or fire some event when it is done.
Fixed timers/delays are never a good option, because your computer might
be either slower or faster than mine, making one of us wait just because
the other has a slower CPU/hardware.
Also, some people use recursive calls (too much) but they can be quiet
harmful when things get broken, and stall the UI.
Cheers,
