I'm forced to keep date up to milisec. The reason is simple: I get at
least a couple of new messages per sec, if all of them are stamped with the
same time, the retrieval order id undefined, i.e. once I get it, let's
say, as the last reference on the first page, other time - as the first one
on the second page. In case You do not keep the cache and always performs
the same query even to get the second page it's getting even worse, i.e.
displaying the messgaes 41-80, may bring the message 41, which You already
displayed on your first page as message 40.

Why do you need that precicion?
Remember: there's a price to pay. The memory required for sorting and
the time to set up the sort cache depends on the number of different terms,
dates in your case.
I can hardly think of an application where seconds are relevant, what do
you need milliseconds for?
