This is not a high priority, but Linux offers the ability for a thread to sleep until an absolute time via the clock_nanosleep() system call. With the TIMER_ABSTIME flag, an absolutely timed sleep is possible. This is rather like the PRET "deadline" instruction and could lead to significantly more precise timing on Linux.
