r-governor

It can be necessary to limit the rate of execution of a loop or repeated function call e.g. to show or gather data only at particular intervals. This package includes two methods for limiting this execution rate; speed governors and timers. A speed governor will insert pauses during execution to meet a user-specified loop time. Timers are alarm clocks which will indicate whether a certain time has passed. These mechanisms are implemented in 'C' to minimize processing overhead.
