Comment #3 on issue 230 by [email protected]: timer accuracy v one shot timer v expiry time (issue_163.t)

It's not been an issue in practice. I've thought about a few ways to make it more accurate (which aren't too hard), but there're too many other important things that people do run into in production to care right now.
Having to wait for all those sleeps in the tests is more annoying than seconds ticking slightly off from reality :)
