Re: get time in ms?

["Cheng, Long" <long.x.cheng@...>]

The POSIX standard specifies os.clock() returning CPU time used. But 
microsoft POSIX library os.clock() returns wall time elapsed since the 
process started. You'd better avoid using it when your lua code is 
supposed to run both on Windows and Linux. We learned this a hard way.
