The original implementation has no idea of frequencies. It simply uses
relative values for all the members of one simulation set. It makes no
difference to use the values 4, 8, 12 or a set of 4000000, 8000000,
12000000. The unit is only in the users head, the values in the
simulation are only relatives to the others.

Using higher precision vars in the simulator only slows down the simulation.

If you need the very slow trace output with accurate output in ns, us or
other units you can also add a factor to calculate the relative
simulation values to real world timing.
