 * A micro-second delay function. This uses gettimeofday (underneith
 * the Timestamp) which has a resolution of upto microseconds. I've
 * found it's good to within about 10 usecs.
 * I used to do calibration, but iperf automatically adjusts itself
 * so that isn't necesary, and it causes some problems if the
 * calibration adjustment is larger than your sleep time.
