    Optimisation opportunity? I've heard stories of people leaving those in so they can present a 'quick win' when they're under pressure.

      Yep, it was here on CP. A "performance loop" it was call or sth like this (for int i=0;i<10000000;i++)

          Perhaps the application is designed for use deep in a gravity well?

          That would work, because the people inside the gravity well would experience the passage of time normally. Only an outside observer would see time passing by slower inside the gravity well. :-D

            Would it not be a real horror to let the poor thread really sleep for one minute (= 0,00000134 dog years or 250000 processor years)?

            I like the measure microfortnight personally.

            Light moves faster than sound. That is why some people appear bright, until you hear them speak. List of common misconceptions

                Ah, I remember writing that when I wrote Sim City. Of course, Sim time is different than our time. A side effect of reticulated splines.

                    That looks more like three shakes of a lamb's tail.

                        Every day, I work a micromillenium.

                        Just think of it as evolution in action.
