At least as I use it and have heard it used, `tick' can also be used to
refer to the interval between two of those events. "How long are timer
ticks on this hardware?" or "For the next few ticks, we crunch on
this...".
I think that is mostly a bit sloppy terminology where they actually want
to know the time between two ticks. :-)
