What I'd really like is to find a better name than tick or std tick for
my ticks.
What would that be anyway? A deci-microsecond? A centa-nanosecond?
Either name
would be horrible.
A hundred nanoseconds would be a deci-microsecond or a hecto-nanosecond.
Both are used, though hectonanosecond seems to be more popular, both
generally and with programmers. For example, Apple's Network Time Protocol
codebase uses the unit. I don't find either name horrible and would prefer
an actual unit of time in TUnit as opposed to a made up name which I'd
have to remember is actually a hectonanosecond. Perhaps this is my
scientific background coming through.
