The docs for Py2.3 say: 
"""On Windows, this function returns wall-clock 
   seconds elapsed since the first call to this function, as a floating 
   point number, based on the Win32 function QueryPerformanceCounter(). 
   The resolution is typically better than one microsecond. """

I wonder if the part about "since the first call to this function" would
make this dangerous for your purposes.
