It's different, these emulators are only working under Windows, so you 
can use DirectX or similar API to get precise timers I guess.
Steem is ported to linux, but we don't have the sources, so can't say.

Our "problem" is that we want our solution to be portable and to work 
under every supported OS, so we can't really use Steem/Saint/Winuae 
approach, it's windows only.

Still, I think nanosleep() would be good, but it could be interesting to 
hear from people coding under OSX/Windows.
