Of course, this assumes that what you've written is what you want:

- Start a single thread
- Within this thread:
  - call do_something *and wait for it to finish*
  - sleep 3 seconds
  - loop around again

Clearly the total time taken for each iteration of this loop is the time 
taken in do_something, plus 3 seconds, plus a small amount of overhead.
