  19. No, but if you just want to create a wait state, try executing a function
  20. or something. You, know: do some busy-work.
  21.  
  22. You can roughly calculate the time spent by running this test:
  23. get the ticks,
  24. repeat the busy-work several times,
  25. get the ticks - it,
  26. divide it by the number of repeats
