interrupt question

Hi,

I have a simple interface that generates an interrupt but updates the
data register after approximately 70 ms.

My question is, would it be reasonable to sleep for a short while in
the bottom half of the handler before querying the data? My argument
is that since the BH is interruptable it wouldnt do harm if I slept?

Because I feel that 70ms is quite a while for idle-looping even in the
BH for this.


Thanks,
Bahadir
