Or, maybe I misunderstand your question.

ngx_current_msec is updated once in the loop.

In short it looks like this:

    loop {
        delta = time;
        update(time);
        delta = time - delta;

        if (delta) {
            expire_timers();
        }
    }

Eventually, the time shift will be 1ms or more.
