Actually keeping sleep statements is good practice. Ship the product with it and when customer comes back asking for performance improvement, remove all of them!

I'm used to programming on platforms where the parameter for Sleep is in milliseconds. This confused me a little at first.

I once "optimized" a bit of code that literally just did the same calculation twice in a row because someone had moved it from another file and just pasted it in twice instead of once. Obviously I went to SVN history to find out which idiot did that. I did not like what I found.
