There are 65,536 ticks in one hour until you use tick_rate(100), then you
have 360,000 ticks in one hour.

I tried this:

    include machine.e
    atom t

    t = time()
    while time() = t do  -- wait next tick
    end while
    ? 1/(time()-t)

    tick_rate(100)

    t = time()
    while time() = t do
    end while
    ? 1/(time()-t)

For some reason I don't ever get 18.2 ticks per second in the first
instance; I get either 16.66 or 20.  In the second instance I always get a
result close to 100.
