Global preferences - timers
Timer interval (seconds): Interval in seconds for the MUSHclient timer. What this means is that the interval set here (eg. 5 seconds) is the rate at which timers are tested to see if they have fired. If you want timers to be accurate to the nearest second, then the timer granularity must be set at 1 second. If having a timer fire to the nearest 5 seconds is satisfactory for you, then set the granularity to 5 seconds. Setting a smaller granularity improves the accuracy of timers, but may slow the program down slightly, particularly on slower PCs. Recommended value for modern PCs: 1 (or see below). Sub-second timers From version 3.61 onwards you can now set timers that fire in fractional seconds (eg. in 2.5 seconds). To enable this, the 'interval' field on this dialog must be set to zero, which means 'the finest resolution currently supported'. In the current version this is 1/10th of a second. Thus, timers will be checked every 10th of a second, if you put zero in the timer interval here. See Also ...
