What do you mean exactly?

The Sleep instruction use the nanosleep() system call until the 
specified time has expired.

The Wait instruction calls the event loop. Event handlers can block it, 
so you have no guarantee at all on when Wait will return. You just can 
be sure that at least the specified time elapsed. The precision is at 
best one millisecond.
