Exactly how precise it is depends on what's used to get the time, what OS your 
on, etc. I don't know what Tango is doing, and particularly if you're on 
Windows, it's possible that there's a better function to get the time than 
std.datetime is using. I picked the best one that I could, but I don't 
remember all of the details at this point, and I'm generally more familiar 
with Linux.
