However, the Sleep system call may be imprecise and wake the process up slightly later than intended. Setting host_timer_spin_ms will reduce the value passed into Sleep by that many milliseconds, but will cause the process to busy wait for longer while it waits for the next tick and thus increase CPU usage. The var will not improve your framerate if you're constantly below 66 (i.e. a bogged down server), but may improve consistency on a sub-second scale.

This seem to make the FPS more consistent when enabled, it always stay at 66.
