Smaller than milliseconds?

The original way:
the long seconds: 1057959579.060119 delta: 0.000009
the ticks: 63477574743 delta: 0
the milliseconds: 1057959579062 delta: 0
the long ticks: 63477574743.85434 delta: 0.000366
the long milliseconds: 1057959579065.631958 delta: 0.005981


And with "put the long <timeUnit> into junk"

the long seconds: 1057959894.692325 delta: 0.000003
the ticks: 63477593681 delta: 0
the milliseconds: 1057959894695 delta: 0
the long ticks: 63477593681.815025 delta: 0.000122
the long milliseconds: 1057959894698.46106 delta: 0.002075

the long seconds: 1057959900.740434 delta: 0.000004
the ticks: 63477594044 delta: 0
the milliseconds: 1057959900744 delta: 0
the long ticks: 63477594044.748299 delta: 0.000061
the long milliseconds: 1057959900747.609985 delta: 0.002075


Ok, who's faster now!

let's go rotate our tires....
