The way I recall it,  Windows time is a mess. To get better than 10 
ms resolution you needed to use time.clock, but that isn't epoch 
time. Trickier solutions existed, depending on exactly what the 
problem was. But judging from your test, 3.3 built those gyrations 
into the stdlib. I dunno,  I pretty much stopped using Windows 4 
years ago.
