The diff is a truncation. The actual error rate is 0.5ms on average. By using a round instead of truncation, we can reduce the error to 0.25ms on average.

Well, that much is obvious. But if you are going to truncate, you should be consistent. Always truncate towards 0, not sometimes towards 0 and sometimes towards infinity.
