Sleep function optimization

[sleinininono]

I was thinking about writing in my program a loop with in it sleep(   ( 60 * 30 ) * 1000 ) in order to make my program wait 30 minuts... and then do the loop again.

But I read that the function check every 10 ms if the sleep is ended... is there a way to optimize what I want to do ? 

thank you

Optimize how? Does it use any CPU resource when the Sleep() is active?

If you have a long sleep like that, you can just put your .exe in a Windows Task Scheduler for every 30 minutes have it run.

that's true but it is not effective... I find it hard to manage... I was doing it still yesterday. But I prefer to code something...

I don't know Jos, maybe it is a lot of computation to do so... I just want to preserve my computer

So you basically are asking to optimise something you do not know whether it needs any optimization....  curious to say the least!

It's obvious his cpu needs sleeping pills to get some proper rest.

very funny hahahah, but can you please answer me ^_^? It would be great to know if I do need to do anything?

Ok, for the last time: What is it that need to be optimised and you are having issues with or else please do not bother us with these phantom issues?

but I don't know what to add. I wanted to know if there is a way to bypass the fact that it is checking whether the time is finished every 10 ms if I'm asking the program to wait 30 min ! Is it or not ? Is it even useful to wonder such questions?

that's what I'm asking

[Jos]

Ok, so you do not have any problem, just the hearsay that this is happening but you have no clue what that means. sweet..
Here you go: The answer is No

thank you ! see ya

@sleinininono Why not just use

AdlibRegister

to execute your function every 30 minute. And sleep anytime ?

You wont need any optimisation... the code will just be run with your wait configuration without a sleep.

@caramen, Why are you making suggestions about something that isn't asked? 
Please let it rest as the OP clearly doesn't have any issue but was guessing.
