It is also used to mean the Planck time, which is the time light takes to travel one Planck length.In computing, a jiffy is the duration of one tick in the system timer interrupter. Most jiiffys/jiffies here would be between 1 and 10 milliseconds (milli- is one thousandth).Many people also believe that it is one centisecond (centi- means one hundredth), and use it as such.
