* The high res timer defaults to 1 msec. Since it includes the period
- * registers, we can slow it down to 10 msec using TMRCNT. If the default
- * period is acceptable, TMRCNT can be left undefined.
+ * registers, the interrupt frequency can be reduced using TMRCNT.
+ * If the default period is acceptable, TMRCNT can be left undefined.
+ * TMRMS represents the desired mecs per tick (msecs per interrupt).
