I don't know it's precision, but you should try calling gettimeofday() in a loop and only execute the code when 5ms passed..
But note that this will take 99% of your processor, since you cannot add any sleep here.. (none FWIK have this precision..) so I guess you can lower the priority without any problem if you are not really going to use the 99%..
