Creating an Animation with a duration <1s in code?

Hi,

i'm running into a weird problem with animations: if i define a
DoubleAnimation as resource in the XAML, i can obtain a duration shorter
then 1 second, without problems - for example by specifying

Duration="0:0:0.250"

The animation will correctly run for a quarter of a second. If i try t
create the same thing in code such as

new Duration(new Timespan(0,0,0,250))

which according to the docs for the Timespan constructor looks correct,
the animation will not run at all (it does, however, if i use a timespan
of 1s or more, such as:

new Duration(new Timespan(0,0,1))

What could i be missing?
