What sort of times are we talking about? Surely you don't check for
new versions of the catalog on a sub second basis? That call is
designed for things that don't need sub second accuracy so the wakeups
can happen every second. So if you do it by seconds and at a guess it
wouldn't matter if the update ran a bit early or late for something
like a catalog update.
