Hi All!

I'm developing a complex system based on TS-7250 SBC. The program is written in 
gnu c (by myself). I have 5 threads in the system and I recognize a strange 
influence between thees. When my serial communication thread works - I mean it 
communicates with an external peripheral - the usleep() function getting 
extremely fast in another (the main) thread. I know the resolution of the 
usleep() is 10 ms, but I use it with 2.0-5.0 sec timings, but more precisely 
than a sec.

The strangest part of the situation is the faster behavior of usleep() instead 
of slower. I mean I could imagine that the usleep() is getting slower because 
of high load, but I don't understand how can it be faster than normal! 
(Actually the system isn't at high load, it was just an idea.)

Any suggestions is appreciated!
