I was working on something for which TimeStamp and TimeDuration classes would be helpful in simplifying code that deals with a cache expiration date. This code does not require high-precision timing. In review I was told that "TimeStamp shouldn't be used unless a hi-precision ms resolution is needed", and that TimeStamp was particularly expensive on Windows due to the use of QueryPerfomanceCounter.
TimeStamp doesn't seem to have been created with a heavy speed for accuracy tradeoff in mind. Is this true? If so, should there be a less expensive way to use it, such as an option or default for lower accuracy? _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
