No... Ldap specification says this is in seconds.

This is a different timeout.

Keep in mind that when the LDAP spec was produced, back in 1995, computers 
where slow like death, and network were just even slower, even cats with their 
7 lives were barely able to survive in tis environments (although now, they are 
really happy : we saw many LOL cats everywhere on Internet !).

Having a below second timeouts for searches was considered back then as 
optimistic as thinking that republicans will agree to ban machine guns...
