(foldoc) | jiffy
1. The duration of one tick of the computer's {system
clock}. Often one AC cycle time (1/60 second in the US and
Canada, 1/50 most other places), but more recently 1/100 sec
has become common.
2. Confusingly, the term is sometimes also used for a
1-millisecond wall time interval. Even more confusingly,
physicists semi-jokingly use "jiffy" to mean the time required
for light to travel one foot in a vacuum, which turns out to
be close to one *nanosecond*.

jiffy
(jargon) | jiffy
n.
1. The duration of one tick of the system clock on your computer (see {tick
}). Often one AC cycle time (1/60 second in the U.S. and Canada, 1/50 most
other places), but more recently 1/100 sec has become common. “The swapper
runs every 6 jiffies” means that the virtual memory management routine is
executed once for every 6 ticks of the clock, or about ten times a second.
2. Confusingly, the term is sometimes also used for a 1-millisecond {wall
time} interval.
3. Even more confusingly, physicists semi-jokingly use ‘jiffy’ to mean the
time required for light to travel one foot in a vacuum, which turns out to
be close to one nanosecond. Other physicists use the term for the
quantum-nechanical lower bound on meaningful time lengths,
4. Indeterminate time from a few seconds to forever. “I'll do it in a jiffy
” means certainly not now and possibly never. This is a bit contrary to the
more widespread use of the word. Oppose nano. See also Real Soon Now.
