Added in the next patch that will be uploaded soon.

is per sec and not per milisec. When we divide it by 1000 (milisec) we'll
receive a value close to what you suggested bellow. Fixed.

Sorry for the poor quoting (this mail is a bit old) and the late response.
Our intention was to release the unittests we used to test this
implementation with the next patch version but releasing them got delayed
due to legal issues.
