I do not believe the underlying metrics have any related semantic issues 
... they preserve full precision (as much as you can packing a struct 
timeval in units of sec + usec into an unsigned 64-bit integer in units 
of msec), up to integer overflow (which can even be handled 
algorithmically in the client if you want to add extra credit points).
