What is the point of timer.delay?

[Sunstroke]

I believe that in Squawk (the Java VM on the cRIO), all threads are artificial constructs in the VM.

I mean that in the sense that the Squawk system will not use the cRIO's built in threading capabilities, it just kind of pretends to use them.

Also, Timer.delay() is implemented with Thread.sleep() and so it will NOT prevent other threads from running while it is asleep. However, the thread that calls Timer.delay(...) will wait until that time has passed.
