It used to be the case that a Timer, on a Mac, couldn't fire more than
about 60 times per second, the rate of the event loop.  (On Windows, I
think the max was 100 Hz, but I'm not sure.)

But I've just discovered that this is no longer the case, at least in
2007R2.  With a Period of 100, it fires at about 10 Hz as expected. 
With a Period of 10, it fires at almost 100 Hz.  And with a period of
1, it's firing at over 500 Hz for me.

I can see this as a feature, but it sure caught me by surprise, and
worth pointing out in case anyone else didn't know about it yet.  Does
anybody know when this changed?

Thanks,
- Joe
