Thank you Peter. I'm aware of the timer problem in JS, I'm just
confused about the results. I expected the timer to takes longer, but
not that it will be faster than the minimum delay specified. Anyway as
this bugs me I fetched a copy of the JS engine source and will have a
look at the implementation. Hopefully that will shed some light on it.
