I don't think you want to try to change ticksPerSecond. The timer support provided by
Palm OS is in 10ms increments. Appropriate for many uses, but not all. If you really
need more accurate timers, and you're willing to make your application work only on
specific hardware, it is possible to read the DragonBall timers which drive the tick
clock. You don't want to mess with these timers because they're used by the OS, but
you can read them. Read the manual for the DragonBall chip you're working with. It
isn't easy, but if you're careful, you should be able to construct a more precise
timer with this data.
