    iv used "delay" to waste up processor time in my c++ labs in college this year! It works well! you can delay for what ever amount of time you want.

    Careful; there's no standard way to do this. In POSIX-compliant OSs (Linux, MacOSX etc.) for instance, sleep takes input in SECONDS, not milliseconds.
