[Armedbear-devel] Non-zero timeouts CL:SLEEP and THREADS:OBJECT-WAIT below the timer Planck limit interpolated as a nanosecond

[Erik Huelsmann]

Hi Mark,

Are you sure? According to this article:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15048170/difference-between-thread-yield-and-thread-sleep#answers,
there's no stable Yield implementation across platforms on Java. Do we
really want to provide platform defined behaviour?

Bye,

Erik.
