not really, because except for rare RTOS systems used in ABS breaking systems and such, there is no such thing as a 1ms granularity. It may be that you best resolution is 1ms, but you might wake up 2500ms later after disk swap is done, or at half the expected sleep time because of some Unix signal and you don't care to rewait after that, or just general noise of kernel processes, interrupts, TLB misses, etc. Of course, the smaller the RTT the more critical this gets. For 25ms the chance of staying within a few percentage reasonable.

I still think the float16 approach is better. It takes all the guessing out be introducing an exponent per timestamp, and it can be decoded in a few nanoseconds.
