Yes the timeout is 1 millisecond, and it has to be called very soon. Is it a
good idea to call it directly in stead of creating a timer, since it's a
very short period?
I don't think so.
Why bother with that psuedo-optimization? You will still need the timeout
callback for other (longer) timeouts so you still need to have it there and
set timeouts. I don't see any point in adding a special-case for the 1 ms
timeout.
