If you really need that fine a timer, there is an unused timer channel
in the timer chip. program it to start counting down at zero, then read
the current counter value until it reaches 65535 - ticks where each tick
is 1/1193100 seconds.

If you need a code fragment, send me e-mail and I'll try to put one
together for you.
