I would like to relinquish the CPU from a thread so I thought using boost::thread::sleep(...). However, I have no idea how to initialize its argument. It looks like this is a boost::system_time. How to initiliaze such a type so my thread waits 20ms, 100ms...!?

You can use

boost::thread::sleep(boost::get_system_time() +boost::posix_time::milliseconds(20));

or use the new this_thread namespace version of sleep:

boost::this_thread::sleep(boost::posix_time::milliseconds(20));
