Hi, apologies if this has been covered already - I did a quick search but
couldn't see it specifically mentioned.
While running a recurring timer within zloop I noticed that it drifts over
time, as it sets a time relative to when the execution loop is triggered,
rather than an absolute time based on when it was expected to last fire.
I couldn't see this mentioned as expected behaviour, and it causes
significant drift over time (on windows at least - linux is less severe :)
I've uploaded some thoughts in a patch (below) if someone more
experienced than me is interested in having a think about whether
this might be worth adding/updating
thanks
Roger
