// ticking over and a wait operation's completion. When the timeout is near
// (less than one second away) we poll the clock more frequently to detect the
// time change closer to when it occurs. The user can select the appropriate
// trade off between accuracy and the increased CPU cost of polling. In extreme
// cases, a zero duration may be returned to make the timers as accurate as
