[erlang-questions] Unexpected behaviour of timer:sleep

[shehan]

In WindowsXP. 

How ever in Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3, below result came. It is
also more than that. So timer:sleep(1) cannot be used as it is. I need to
suspend process for 1 millisecond. But it is suspend 12 or 13 milliseconds.
Then my requirement cannot be achieved.

(test@REDACTED)1> timer:tc(timer, sleep, [1]).
{11945,ok}
(test@REDACTED)2> timer:tc(timer, sleep, [1]).
{12680,ok}

Which operating system do you run Erlang on?
