title: windows c++ and possibility of a microsecond sleep
body: <p>Is there anyway at all in the windows environment to sleep for ~1 microsecond? After researching and reading many threads and various websites, I have not been able to see that this is possible. Since the scheduler appears to be the limiting factor and it operates
  at the 1 millisecond level, then I believe it can't be done without going to a real time OS.</p>
