Run unix command precisely at very short intervals WITHOUT accumulating time lag over time

Normally, this interval is interpreted as the amout of time between
the completion of one run of command and the beginning of the next
run. However, with the -p or –precise option, you can make
watch attempt to run command every interval seconds. Try it with ntptime and notice how the fractional seconds stays (nearly) the
same, as opposed to normal mode where they continuously increase.
