So much effort is ruined with the usage of usleep. Obfuscated C should be portable!
What's not portable about the usleep function? It's in the POSIX standard for portable operating systems (http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7990989799/xsh/usleep.h...). It doesn't get much more portable than that.
Edit: Apparently, it has indeed been removed from SUSv4.
