 //X         Execute script in debugger
 //U         Use Unicode for redirected I/O from the console

Update:

To help people who downvote a plain (and to the point) citation of cscript.exe's usage message (how can that be wrong?) to see the light through @PanayotKarabakalov's smoke screen:

The claim:

using //T switch not guarantee real time accuracy

that all 5 Echo command executed, even if the Sleep time between them is 1.5 second and the //T is set to 4

The evidence:

The script is restarted via:

CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run "WScript " & _
    Chr(34) & WScript.ScriptFullName & _
    Chr(34) & " /T:4", 0, False

which does not contain the host-specific //T (as opposed to the script-specific /T) switch.

The (counter) argument:

Whatever way you start the first instance of the script (//T or no //T), the second/relaunched instance will never have a time out and will always run to the bitter end.

If you still have doubts, change the invocation in P.'s script to

 CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run "WScript //T:4 " & _

and try it out.
