Easy: <?php for($i=0;$i<5;$i++) sleep(1); ?> Or better: <?php $endtime = time()+5; while (time() != $endtime); ?> Or even better: <?php $endtime = time()+5; while (`date +%s` != $endtime); ?> We have busy wait, we have risk of indefinite loops. The next step should be (more) imprecision. Maybe read /proc/cpuinfo and perform n steps of simple loop where n is calculated from the cpu type, mhz and current load.
