Beware that the timer resolution depends on the event loop that depends 
on the GUI component.

At the moment there are four event loop implementations:

- The default one in the interpreter.
- The Qt4 / Qt5 one.
- The GTK+2 / GTK+3 one.
- The SDL one.

As making the gambas3-selftest project depends on a GUI component, you 
can't test the interpreter event loop, which should have the best 
resolution, because there is no GUI event loop overhead.
