[Twisted-Python] Accurate delays in callLater

This makes me want to ask if Twisted is able to run "smooth real  
time" processes. Say for instance that I have to run a process every  
second (with a precision of 0.1s). Can I be sure that after having  
run for 1 hours the process will have been executed 3600 times ? same  
for 1 day, 1 week, etc ?

The underlying question is wether Twisted supports periodic process  
that synchronize on the clock, and if so, how does it prevent delay  
propagation ?

TIA,
