The last time I messed with changing the tick value (10 or 11
months back) I discovered that there were several places
(tests, network stuff, IIRC) that assumed a 10ms tick.  It's
not a big problem, but something to be aware of.  I had a
system that seemed to work fine with a 1ms tick. I never
bothered to fix the network timings, since I decied to change
back to a 10ms tick.
