>From fc-cache.c:

    /* 
     * Now we need to sleep a second  (or two, to be extra sure), to make
     * sure that timestamps for changes after this run of fc-cache are later
     * then any timestamps we wrote.  We don't use gettimeofday() because
     * sleep(3) can't be interrupted by a signal here -- this isn't in the
     * library, and there aren't any signals flying around here.
     */
    /* the resolution of mtime on FAT is 2 seconds */
    if (changed)
        sleep (2);
