interpreting the fractional portion of time.clock() vs time.time(0 measurements

[john peter]

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?
  microsends?
   
  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(), and all i need is millisecond resolution. which of these
  functions would be easier to translate into millisecond units of measurement?
