I've never had this problem. It seems unlikely...

Are you sleeping on a scalar variable or a constant value? Are you
operating in a single thread? Are you dependent upon any XS code?

I guess you could try stuff:
Another way to sleep is to use select() routine with a timeout .
Another thing you could try: I tend to use the HiRes timer package.

Worse case, you could multiply your "delay time" by some value and
loop that amount of time on some busy wait. Interesting as a
diagnostic, anyway. Or you could system() out to some C routine that
you know does a proper delay.
