Thanks, I can see where sched_yield would be very useful.

AFAIK, for a single threaded process, sleep and usleep
will relinquish the CPU. However, nanosleep can hold the
processor for sleeps less than 2msec. I believe multi-
threaded processes keep using the time slice as long as any
thread is runable so a thread in usleep could return right
after the timeout. Other than that, it always seems to be
at least 10000usec.
