I wonder if interrupting the system with hrtimers > for _all_ smallish delays (when the longer delay would not really hurt) That's why you have ranges of about 20% (I think) in usleep() so you minimize hrtimers interrupts. Other thing is boot time... Sleeping 20ms instead of 2ms is a huge difference. Imagine if everyone thought like this for small sleeps :)? > is a the best design choice.

Sure, here you know what you're doing and you don't care if you end up sleeping more than 2ms but that's not always the case and code like this allows for legit mistakes (if someone just copy paste this for example). Not a big deal anyways... - Nuno Sá
