Research direction

Start in src/win32/thread.cpp at the SetWaitableTimerEx call around line 652 and inspect how the tolerable wait parameter affects boost::this_thread::sleep on Windows 11. Reproduce the requested wait and verify that the sleep no longer resumes about 32 ms late.

Description

It seems that the 'tolerable wait' parameter of SetWaitableTimerEx is now used to delay the process resume as much as possible.
