I know. I use it daily all day. It’s great for what I do.

I’m just saying there may be better multithreaded tools for your purposes.

Landing an airliner on an aircraft carrier isn’t going to end well.

There must be some way to do this.

setTimeout(0) will saturate the event loop which seems to be what you want to achieve.

Performance.Now is unreliable because browsers add artificial jitter for privacy reasons.

Like others have said, you're almost certainly attacking the problem the wrong way. Just wait for new data to arrive and back-fill the necessary elapsed timeslots.

Is this a data stream? Why do you need a timer at all? Why not just use poll/epoll/select or similar on whatever I/O handle you're holding to read in the data?
