I don't know, but I think in reality you want abstime. Consider a process
that does something with items that pass at your machine on a belt conveyor.
Then you need to handle one item (say) each 200ms and using reltime means
that your latencies add and even with a latency of 1µs you'd miss
approx. 1 item per year.

Best regards
Uwe
