So... you plan on rendering more than 1000 frames per second?
I think in any case, even if the API allows it, you are
probably not getting much better resolution on your non-windows
systems.
Have you tried it anyway and see how it works? I think it might
actually work just fine.

The higher precision would be needed b/c updating and rendering
takes time, so the sleep time would be timePerFrame -
timeSpendOnRendering.
Problem is you'll need vsync anyway to avoid tearing.
Applications that use their own timing to limit the framerate
without using vsync are easy to recognise: they have a tear
slowly moving around on the screen. It's visually even more
annoying than regular tearing.
