Also a lot of routers put pings to the back of the bus when they get
busy.. Also be a good netizen and don't flood ping out of your own domain.

Maybe it's obvious, but this method ought to be fairly accurate IF the
time from one ping to another is very consistent. I don't know the
specific cause of the cases where the command is unable to satisfy the
request for 1 ping per .001 second. Obviously if that cause leads to
variance from one ping to another then the accuracy suffers.
Even if you don't get 1 ping per ms, you might be able to estimate as:
(pings transmitted / time = time per ping)
and
(failover time = time per ping * (pings transmitted - pings received))
