Don't read too much into the clock info here:
>>> time.get_clock_info('process_time').resolution
1e-07
Process times [1] are stored as a 64-bit integer in units of 100 ns (1e-7). But
the kernel schedules threads based on a timer that ticks every 15.625 ms by
default. It can be lowered to about 0.5 ms, but this degrades battery life.
