trying to get accurate timers within a GUI event loop is like trying to
stay upright while walking across oil on a frozen lake.
there is no nothing to prevent a GUI event handler from taking so long
that you miss entire "cycles" of your timer.
if you need accurate timing, i suggest you see it outside the event
loop.
