In ClockMorph>>step we call "Time now" which goes to the OS.

If you change ClockMorph>>stepTime to return 100 instead of 1000 
milliseconds, is the display close enough for your needs?

This isn't a latency issue, really; it's just that there's an 
asynchronous loop running Morphic, and the ClockMorph is getting its 
#step method called every 1000 milliseconds. Which means that it's 
only going to change every second or so.
