Reliable timer with 1ms accuracy are just not possible without a
realtime OS. In my experience anything under 10ms is not reliable
enough to be really useful on a desktop OS.
If the design really require such high frequency timer it is a big flaw
IMHO. One *must* use OS events (select() and the like) to efficiently
implement anything that would otherwise need polling with more than
100Hz. Desktop OS are just no realtime OS with guaranteed timing
constraints!
