Not impossible,  just a bit tricky.
One could add a Qt::TimerType which is of type "MicroSecondResolutionTimer"
which would change the meaning of the interval to be in microsecond.

Then you would need a protected 
QAbstractEventDispatcher::setSupportMicroSecondTimer  that the capable 
dispatcher would set to true.  Qt would have to convert to milisecond if the 
event dispatcher does not support this.

So if there is really a need for it, it is possible.
