Yes, but the windows timer resolution sucks. :(

Rather than timing one operation once using nanosecond resolution, try
timing many things many times and then taking the average. I'd bet that
the margin of error gets lost in the noise, anyway.

Tomcat's performance shouldn't be able to be disproven just because
there are fewer zeros after the 'seconds' decimal point.

You are simply at the mercy of the logger in most cases. Feel free to
write your own logger -- or subclass an existing one and change the
timer display from using System.currentTimeMillis to
System.currentTimeNanos.
