AFAIA the vm supports microsecond resolution delays.  However, blocking interfaces used by the vm to block when there’s nothing to do, such as select(3), may offer only millisecond resolution.

(I’m pretty sure that) What the vm maintains is the time of the next delay expiry, in the utc microsecond clock,

Internally Delay is doing delayForMicroseconds:, not delayForMilliseconds:.
