It's really a mistake that the field granularity isn't in seconds. Do
note that RT gets used in a lot of scenarios that aren't project

agents.  

But have a look at RT 3.5, where we give you your choice of minutes and
hours ;)

(FWIW It seems fairly common in the legal profession to bill in increments
of hundredths of an hour.)
