Besides using a hardware timer on embedded platforms. Older µC like AVR
do not have too much hardware timers, but modern ones normally have a
lot.

Waiting in a loop is not the best way to delay when using multitasking.
One will never know if the timing is disturbed by an interrupt. Or does
the gcc implementation handle this case?
