I don't think a fraction of a second could be considered a complete stop. Although I sure there are some technical scienctific umpires out there thay may disagree with me.
Scientifically, in order to change direction he must stop. (Think a ball can't come down until it stops going up.)
I think if a full second was required, then they should say a full second.
I usually will call time out before the pitch if I think the pitcher is not giving the batter a chance to get set. But if the batter is just waving his bat too long and didn't get himself ready, that's too bad.
