Reading through the docs, the approximate flow from a user touching an 
interface component (e.g. a button) to the touch event being processed by the 
application is:

 - User touches (e.g. a UIButton), a "touch" object is created and enqueued on 
the dispatch thread (main thread)
 - The touch object is dequeued, a UIEvent object is created and dispatched to 
the target object (for handling)

The docs also state that the timestamp of the UIEvent [event timestamp] is the 
time that the event was created.  From this I assume that [event timestamp] is 
somewhat later than the actual time that user touched the UIButton - how much 
later depends on system activity around that time.  Is this assumption correct? 
If so, is there a way to get the time that the user touched the interface?  The 
small number (indeterminate) of milliseconds lag between touch time and event 
time is important to me.  I can tolerate processing the event after an 
indeterminate lag but I do need to know when the actual touch occurred.
