freq = 1/time
time = 1/freq
clock cycles = time * freq

Pick the one that matches the problem and use consistent units.

Read the 8266 User's Manual and your board documentation/schematic to 
determine the frequency that your CPU is clocked at.  Use the "ceiling" 
function on your clock cycles calculation (i.e. "round up").
