Ehrm... yes :/

I'm not questioning the hrtimer rate, I'm questioning what would be an
ideal interval to coalesce this with as much other delays as possible,
but I think we're good and this is really a minor thing mostly for my
personal education, as I've seen mentioned in other reviews a 20%
range is usually suggested (found no mention of that in
timers-howto.rst though)
Thanks again for fixing this
