Note: 1/45 is 90 degree.

(250000000 * (1 / 45)) calculated with calculator on GNU/Linux equals:
5555555.555555556

This, some handy threading functions and nanosleep makes my application
run with a thread tree.

sf.net/p/ags

As I'm reflecting I recognize that there are 10^3 more zero's as I
wanted. I give it a try with: 250000

That would result about 4𝜇s

That could you have seen if you didn't ban me from
linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org:

GNU/Linux is great!

This changed my life:

    /* and now async */
    {
      static const struct timespec req = {
        0,
        (250000000 * 1 / 45),
      };

      if(!AGS_IS_DEVOUT_THREAD(thread)){
        nanosleep(&req, NULL);
      }
    }
