I believe replacing msleep(small) with
usleep_range(small * 1000, small * 1000) is
not generally a good idea.

Please give usleep_range an actual range to
work with and not a repeated single value.

Please think a little more about what a
good upper range for the maximum time to
sleep should be.

usleep_range(small * 1000, small * 2000)
or something similar maybe.
