Hey
I have been looking at changing the internal timers in Bird to operate
at millisecond granularity instead of the current one-second steps. I
have two motivations for this:
- The Babel protocol specifies time in 10ms increments, and I want to 
be
  able to schedule things to match this.
- I have some ideas for experimenting with low latency route 
propagation
  that are not practical the current granularity.

I'm implementing PopRouting for OSPF (in BIRD obsvly), since it tunes 
the timers to a very precise value, having these granularity is 
necessary.
