how to 'sleep' in asp?

how to 'sleep' in asp?

I'm using an asp code to process data in database on server. It is a long time loop. What I want to do is: once after some processing, put the asp in 'sleep' for about 10 seconds (or some time), so that the server can process other things while processing my data.

I found this code:

/////////////////////
StartTime = Timer()
EndTime = Timer()

WaitTime = EndTime - StartTime

do while WaitTime < 10
EndTime = Timer()
WaitTime = EndTime - StartTime
loop
///////////////////

will this code satisfy what I need? or, it will still 'block' the server?

I mean asp, not asp.net.

any help is appreciated.


thanks

The server will definitely pause with this script, I don't know if it will take up so much server resources that it would not be able to perform other tasks. Another option would be to go to a blank page with a javascript refresh after 10 seconds, that will redirect to the right page. Does this make sense?
