useleep_range() sets the timer to max and only if there happens to be a
timer between min and max uses that - so the mean of runs is generally
a bit above max. E.g.

usleep_range(*,200) 5000 samples - idle system
 100,200         190,200
 Min.   :188481  Min.   :197793
 1st Qu.:207062  1st Qu.:207051
 Median :207139  Median :207133
 Mean   :207254  Mean   :207244
 3rd Qu.:207341  3rd Qu.:207610
 Max.   :225340  Max.   :214885

So to keep the behavior as close to the current code as possible
it seemed better to select the upper value.

Am I missing something ?

thx!
