\value CoarseTimer Coarse timers try to keep accuracy within 5% of the desired interval
\value VeryCoarseTimer Very coarse timers only keep full second accuracy
On UNIX (including Linux and Mac OS X), Qt will keep millisecond accuracy
for Qt::PreciseTimer. For Qt::CoarseTimer, the interval will be adjusted up
to 5% to align the timer with other timers that are expected to fire at or
around the same time. The objective is to make most timers wake up at the
same time, thereby reducing CPU wakeups and power consumption.
On Windows, Qt will use Windows's Multimedia timer facility (if available)
for Qt::PreciseTimer and normal Windows timers for Qt::CoarseTimer and
Qt::VeryCoarseTimer. The interval for Qt::VeryCoarseTimer is rounded to the
Qt::VeryCoarseTimer.
On all platforms, the interval for Qt::VeryCoarseTimer is rounded to the
nearest full second (e.g. an interval of 23500ms will be rounded to
24000ms, and 20300ms to 20000ms).
