Expect the same here. I believe they are not guaranteed for
accuracy... from Apple:
"Because of the various input sources a typical run loop manages, the
effective resolution of the time interval for a timer is limited to
on the order of 50-100 milliseconds."
Reference google for NSTimer class reference.

Are they
generally accurate within a few ms depending on what else is going
on in an
application? Is threading an answer to most accurate timing? Just
curious
here. I'm coming from another language where timers can be off fairly
significantly depending on drawing activity.
