-Use high-quality software timers instead of the RTC.
-As precise as the RTC without requiring special privileges.
+Time frames by repeatedly checking the current time instead of asking the

+Useful if your kernel timing is imprecise and you cannot use the RTC either.
 Comes at the price of higher CPU consumption.
