RE: Modification of gwthread_sleep for SMPP throttling

I don't think I understand. as gwthread_sleep accepts times in double
and not integer, its easy to sleep for less then a second. for example -
I usually use gwthread_sleep(0.1) which sleeps for a tenth of a second.
what's wrong with the current implementation ?
