hm, did not find it there. but 100usec seems very far fetched. Even with 
posix realtime extension. I assume you want something like:


    do smthg
    wait x microsecs
    do smthg

problem is: wait x microsecs never waits x microsecs but almost always more. 
even with realtime priority / -signals / whatever. 

that's at least my experience. If I am wrong please correct me.
