No, it is probably me that is missing something.

I take that back, but by "timer frequency periods" I meant period
periods of the timer clock, or timer counts if you like. Using this
instead of microseconds makes it easier to do such tricks like oslib
does when it reads the timer, e.g. ll_gettime with TIME_EXACT. Also,
when "ticks" are used in the time event list, one cannot change the the
tick (jiffy) frequency without recalculating every list element.
