Nmap should be giving results down to the hundredths of a millisecond, but
it is possible that your system is only giving Nmap millisecond-precision
results when Nmap asks for times using gettimeofday() and similar.  I don't
know what platform you're on, but I just tried "nmap --traceroute -v
scanme.nmap.org" on Linux and it gave sub-millisecond results.  It ended
with:

9   31.12 ms sjo-b21-link.telia.net (62.115.118.169)
10  31.54 ms linode-ic-320384-sjo-b21.c.telia.net (62.115.12.1)
11  28.49 ms 173.230.159.15
12  28.76 ms scanme.nmap.org (45.33.32.156)

Cheers,
Fyodor
