let's say i'm taking timing measurements in Windows XP
t1 = time.clock()
...
t2 = time.clock()
t3 = t2 - t1 = say, 0.018
what is the unit of measurement for t3? is it correct to say that t3 = 18 milliseconds? microseconds?
what if the timing function used for t1 and t2 was time.time()? is it still correct to
say that t3 = 18 milliseconds? i kinda know that in Windows, time.clock() has
higher resolution than time.time(). all i need is millisecond resolution. which
of these functions would be easier to translate into millisecond units of measurement?
