I would point out that you can't really guarantee the length of a timeslice unless you have ring 0 privileges. In this case, you could argue ring 0 privileges are JVM-level, but the JVM has a lot of overhead (compared to modern ones). I would say a timeslice of less than 15ms will be impossible to guarantee.
