Sleep less than 1 second

Does anyone know a way to sleep less than 1 second?
Sometimes when I write scripts that iterates a loop many times it would be
nice to slow things down, but sometimes 1 second is too much.

NAME
smokeping_cgi - SmokePing webfrontend OVERVIEW
This script acts as a 'website' for your SmokePing monitoring operation. It presents the targets you are looking at in a tree structure and draws graphs as they are required by people looking at the pages. DESCRIPTION
To get smokeping_cgi going, you need a webserver which allows you to run CGI or better FastCGI scripts. The system must be setup so that the cgi process is allowed to write to the image caching area as defined in the config file. This script runs fine as a normal CGI, BUT it will appear to be very slow, because it does a lot of things when starting up. So if the script has to be started a fresh on every click, this is both slow and a tough thing for your webserver. I therefore strongly recommend using FastCGI. Please refer to the installation document for detailed setup instructions. SETUP
There is a sample htdocs directory in your smokeping installation root. Copy its content to the place where your webserver expects its files. There are also two sample cgi scripts showing how to launch the smokeping cgi in your website. The only difference is the file extension. Adjust the paths in the script and you should be ready to go.
