That may be what was intended with those defines, but the code doesn't
use them that way (in 1.1.0 at least - I don't have 1.1.1 to hand to
check that).  The tcp_fast_tmr() function is called every time tcp_tmr()
is called, and the tcp_slow_tmr() function is called every other time.
There is no check there to divide the required time by TCP_TMR_INTERVAL
before deciding whether to invoke either the fast or slow timer
functions.  This would be good idea though if people need the
flexibility of calling tcp_tmr() more frequently.
