Returns a number representing the current time (with millisecond precision). Unlike with time(), the number returned by this function has no meaning of its own and may not be comparable across clients; however, since it also provides higher resolution it can be compared against itself for high-precision time measurements.

As of patch 4.3 this function's value is cached and will not change until the next OnUpdate fires. See debugprofilestop() for an alternative.
