Yep, the same thing (at a different time ;-) ) with MOS 9.2...

the long seconds: 1057947474.546898 delta: 0.000007
the ticks: 63476848472 delta: 0
the milliseconds: 1057947474549 delta: 0
the long ticks: 63476848473.015358 delta: 0.000359
the long milliseconds: 1057947474551.332031 delta: 0.005005

I guess we can compare the actual speed of our CPUs.

Looks like mine is a bit quicker.... ;-)
