Ben,

The problem with high-resolution timers is the fact that their callbacks
are running on the same thread as the libuv loop. Usually, syscalls are
taking a couple of microseconds and sometimes more, thus making impractical
usage of timer intervals < 100 us.

However, if you still see a use case for them - please share it with us,
perhaps, we could figure out something together.

Cheers,
Fedor.
