    Ouch!

    I suppose your fl_sleep should work, it doesn't seem efficient though. I
    would like a call like sleep() which doesn't use system resources, except
    that I have this other process which I need to run in the background.

    What I'm using now works, it's not pretty, though.

    Thanks,
