I don't understand the purpose of "keeping the actor busy".
Why not use the actor system's scheduler in order to implement the delay?
Do you actually want to use CPU or other resources?
The only thing to pay attention to is that the scheduler, has a certain
precision, so the delay may turn out t
A dumb question. I was in such a situation recently and have been sleeping
threads in Java. I got so much used to it that now I had trouble telling
Actor what "heavy work" it should do to stay busy.
My solution was File.createTempFile("someRandom", "txt") couple of thousand
time (so Actor was

:) thank you from your answer!
yes, I'm trying to test my actor system with dispatchers, and need both
heavy and light weight actors for my test ;

Fahlmeh, hopefully you are talking about some form of test -- in a
production system, you would not want to use thread.sleep.
But to answer your question, yes -- if your actor calls thread.sleep, it
really ties up a thread.

I have a relative question;
I want to create some heavy and thread occupier actors by akka; by using
thread.sleep(5000) are the threads associated to that actors really
occupied?I mean when I use thread.sleep(5000) inside an actor, does the
actor occupy the thread for 5 sec
