One of the most efficient programs is this one:
public
class LowOverhead
{
public static void
main(String[] args)
{
System.exit(0);
}
}
Anyway, java.lang.Thread.sleep(...) is for programmed pauses in a thread's
activity that are determined only by a real-time duration.
Java.lang.Object.wait(...) is for synchronization between threads. They
serve entirely different purposes and offhand I can think of no situation
in which there'd be a choice between them for a given purpose.
Programming with threads is not trivial. Read up on it before embarking on
it for the first time. Sun has tutorials, of course:

<http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/threads/>. The book
"Concurrent Programming in Java (2nd ed.)" by Doug Lea (Addison Wesley /
Sun Press / Java Series) is excellent, but advanced.
