Glib::usleep() will sleep the specified number of microseconds by yielding to 
other processes or threads (it is not a busy wait), except that in practice 
its minimum resolution is dependent on the kernel tick rate which in the 2.6 
Linux kernel is 1ms by default, and also on whatever other loading is on the 
system at the time.  In other words, it is not a hard realtime sleep but is a 
minimum wait time.
