usleep
Sorry everyone, I had initially posed my for loop wrong... I meant to say for(i = 0; i < 1000; i++).
Mark Hahn clarified the issue and usleep is not actually accurate (provably) and the man page actually has a disclaimer. To me, it seems like usleep(2000) * 50 itterations actually gives a reasonably accurate 1 second delay on machines from 800 mgz to 2 ghz.
Mark Hahn actually gave me some more accurate code to do usleep too. Thanks Mark! Thanks
Lee

I would think the following code would wait for 1 second each itteration before printing hello, but it waits way too long. Replacing the for loop body with a usleep(1000000) works great... what am I missing here?
usleep = micro sleep = sleep in 1/1000000 second incrememnts.

Martin's distress was in contrast to the bitter satisfaction of some of his fellow marines as they surveyed the scene. "The Iraqis are sick people and we are the chemotherapy," said Corporal Ryan Dupre. "I am starting to hate this country. Wait till I get hold of a friggin' Iraqi. No, I won't get hold of one. I'll just kill him." - http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article2479.htm
