That must be a typo in your ini files or you set that value. The minimum 
default in OpenSimDefaults.ini is 0.5 seconds.

If you have a script that needs a 0.1 second timer I hope that is only for 
short periods of time. If not, the runtime on that script is going to be 
high. If you are using 0.1 second timer with a texture change operation in 
the timer handler that will result in a very high runtime. High script 
runtimes are the typical cause of poor performance of a region (ie. lag).

When I see scripts with high runtimes in a grid the person is asked to shut 
it down or fix it. If they don't know how to fix it I offer to help them. It 
often doesn't take much to rewrite a script to significantly reduce the runtime.
