Currently, just a comment in `timer-event-handler' says this.  I would
have appreciated to read this in a doc-string with an explanation of
what "real time jumps" means and how often the timer repeats.

I verfied this with some trivial code that increments a counter.
AFAICT, the timer always repeats eight times.
