Interesting. Since I basically want to ensure one or more context
switches, it would probably be a good idea to put the sched_yield()
call right before the sleep(). I don't want to lose the sleep()
call--I like the fact that it introduces some time for the kernel to
do other stuff, thus making my timings a little more random.

And wow! sched_yield is actually POSIX! I figured it was just a Linux
syscall, but this is great, because including it in my program will
not cost me portability to other Unices.

Cheers, Junichi!
