Subject: [PATCH] (change version) a small issue fix, where cpu spike caused by
 inxi itself gives a bad cpu speed. Solution, put a 0.3 sleep time right
 before we get the cpu data.

Less than 0.3 wasn't s reliable, not sure how much time the kernel needs to slow down cpus again.

user can set config override of this time easily.

Maybe one day inxi will be released with config files in /etc, then this stuff can be documented better in the file.

I found the sleep largely unnoticeable in my tests.
