Is there any difference between Sleep and Delay ?

[40tude]

I guess everything is in the title... 🙂
Just to make sure "Delay" belongs to CVI while "Sleep" is part of the Windows SDK
If there is no difference which one should I use ?
If there are some differences, please tell me. This is not clear... @ least for me.

CVIs delay function is (basically) a loop which can eat up processing time while the SDK sleep actually suspends the execution of the thread. If given the choice I would pick the SDK on this one...
