UEFI BootServices SetTimer Interfval calc off

[dfatvb]

Although the following should result in triggering the timer every 1ms, under virtual box it will not result in triggering the timer ever 1ms but instead every 10ms, So other code that waits for 1 second actually waits 10 seconds. Can you fix!! Thanks.

#define FREQIN100NS   10000    // Frequency to request: 100ns * 10000 == 1ms

// these convert our settimer frequency above to frequency per second
// these don't need to be modified on frequency changed. 
#define NUM100NSIN1SEC (1000000000/100)
#define FREQINSECONDS (NUM100NSIN1SEC/FREQIN100NS)

    if (!EFI_ERROR(status=UEFI_BS->CreateEvent(EVT_TIMER|EVT_NOTIFY_SIGNAL, TPL_CALLBACK, MyTimerNotifyCallback, NULL, &MyTimerEvent))) {
      // created event - now set timer for callback every 1 millisecond 
      if (!EFI_ERROR(status=UEFI_BS->SetTimer(MyTimerEvent, TimerPeriodic, FREQIN100NS))) {

Please reopen if still an issue with the most recent VirtualBox 6.1 release, there were a lot if changes the EFI firmware code which could have fixed the issue.
