To monitor a control loop that ran in <1ms I needed something more precise than milliseconds.

I could have used an in-between time unit, like hundredths of a millisecond, but that would have created embarrassingly long variable names.

I was wondering this as well. FB tech articles never seem to start with a use-case, application or statement of problem.
