Problem:
Allow Scheduled Intervals of smaller than 1min, 1sec (current minimum).
The current minimum interval of 1 minute, 1 second is restrictive and should be decreased. Scheduled tasks used to monitor long-running processes often need to check system status more regularly to ensure efficient processing of items in the (user managed) task queue. Where scheduled tasks are used to trigger many small requests, a 1min,1sec interval is inefficient and wastes CPU cycles.
The only workaround is for a user to code a complicated CFM page that uses times (inefficiently) to sleep() the thread and execute additional tasks if the time remaining in the 1min, 1second window allows it.
