I suspect that making timer resolution smaller can increase overhead
noticeably.
You may be interested to look at

Utime is a kernel patch which seems to make Linux able to dynamically
adjust timer resolution when needed by processes (the normal resolution
is 10ms (for i386)).
Alternatively you may look into RT-Linux.
