sleep in minutes?

Although, no one has confirmed why Sleep with parameters from 1 through 10 always sleeps 10 milliseconds.

I will definitely be using the high precision sleep from now on, that monoceres wrote.

im not sure but uhh yeah it may depend on the computer resources like what was already said earlier.... but i dont know lol is it ACTUALLY 10ms EVERY SINGLE time on EVERY Computer, i have no time to test this out.

You don't need to do any lengthy test, simply run this code, you will see that the first is around 10ms while the second will be around 100. I can confirm this on both single- and multi-core systems.

$Timer = TimerInit()
Sleep(10)
ConsoleWrite("One 10ms sleep=" & TimerDiff($Timer) & @CRLF)

$Timer = TimerInit()
For $X = 1 To 10
    Sleep(1)
Next
ConsoleWrite("Ten 1ms sleep=" & TimerDiff($Timer) & @CRLF)

So, that change was made in 2007... here are posts that "worried" about sleep before that. They have several methods of seeing how "sleeps" and "sleep UDFs" perform - and questions about types of loops:

Culminating in a sleep UDF from 2005

Well, it is about time that someone brought this up again.

I'll never be able to sleep until this is settled. :-)

Those are even worse than the puns I was throwing at my friends last night.
