This should be the new isEven()/isOdd(). Calculate the speed of the CPU and use that to determine how long it might take to achieve a 'sleep' of a required time.

I took an embedded hardware class where specifically we were required to manually calculate our sleeps or use interrupts and timers rather than using a library function to do it for us.
