Do you mean replacing the sleep with something like a futex? 

When thinking about this a little bit more I'm not sure if doing this in
the client is the right way to handle this. The client has no way to 
judge if the delay is caused by a general high load or by a single slow osd.
Maybe it would be better if libraos could notify the client to slow down?
