Windows 2000 had some function that returns 4ms accurate time,
I hope it is implemented like CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE.
OS X ... oh well. Don't know. Just declare the "fast timer" a
hint, I guess. Like when you ask for anti-aliasing in OpenGL
and the implementation is free to decide if it can or want's
to deliver. So it turns into: "I need a sub-second
timestamp, but make it as fast as possible on the target OS".
Maybe some day Apple will copy CLOCK_REALTIME_FAST from
FreeBSD.
