Faster Real-Time Programming Possible?

Dear Unixpersons,

	First of all, if any of these forums (fora?) are inappropriate
	for my query, then I apologize in advance.  

	Next, my question:
	I am writing a real-time control program to record sensor measurements
	and servo a robotic hand.  I have been using the interval timer for
	scheduling events.  Is there any (probably system dependent) way to
	schedule events more frequently than once every 10 milliseconds?  For
	context, I am working on a HP 9000 Series 800 machine...  I don't mind
	writing my own real-time routine to monitor the machine's hardware 
	clock, if that is possible.  So if any of you have experience doing 
	this, or even if you don't but desire to opine, please commence.

	BTW, e-mail would be preferred, but I shall surely be attuned to these
	frequencies for the next several days.

							Thanks,

								Mark
