Now that we are allowing timing below 10 ms we have done some more research and we see that the underlying functionality we use to track times, has a limitation/resolution of about 10 ms in the operating system.

We are going to change to different functions in the operating system, which we already use, for other purposes, that gives us a resolution of 1 µs (Microsecond).

So therefore using a setting of 4 ms or 1 ms at this time is not likely to make any difference. We need about a week for the additional development.
