Nice catch, thanks for the report @CosmicWebServices!

Potentially relevant: in https://github.com/LLK/scratch-vm/issues/268 people showed interest in more precision in the days since 2000 block, the preference may be similar in the timer as well

@mrjacobbloom It is the same as Scratch 2... I don't think we would want to mess with the values

That is because of script execution lag. Maybe if parallel computing was used, this wouldn't be a problem.
