Where does getTime actually get its time? And where do these numbers come from; I mean why chose this time unit instead of plain 1/10 or 1/100 or 1/1000s? (1193182 does not look familiar to my eyes ;-) Do you have an idea on how to get one of those time units (ms would be perfect, since more precision can be rounded, while the contrary is a hard task!)
