`TIMER_FREQUENCY`	Number of timer units per second. Dependent on the processor speed.
`TIMER_RESOLUTION`	Number of timer units by which timed values increase each time.
`TIMER_OVERHEAD`	Minimum timer overhead, determined during initialization by calling the timer 20 times and selecting the smallest value. Total overhead will be at least double this, as the timer is called at the beginning and end of each timed event.
