You could use `socket.sleep(time)` from the luasocket library [1]. The
parameter `time` is in seconds, but it has millisecond precision, i.e.
to sleep 1 millisecond, call:
socket.sleep(0.001)
It works also on Windows, but it uses the Sleep function from Windows
API [2], which is not precise down to 1 millisecond (AFAIK the minimum
it sleeps is ~15ms [3]).
