[PD] Advantages of using [timer] over [realtime]

[Mario Buoninfante]

Hi,

What would be the pros and cons in using [timer] instead of [realtime].
I know the latter asks the OS for time, while [timer] deals with logical
time.
If I got it right, logical time is tied to the sample rate (and block
size), so it's basically the 'Pd time'.
Another question would also be, which one is the most accurate? If this
question is applicable.

Cheers,
Mario
