I only need two things from a Time library:
1. An absolute assurance that some method of determining current time will give me an actual resolution of at most 1-3 milliseconds, without regard for leap seconds or even the user changing the system clock.
You almost certainly want getCPUTime from System.CPUTime. The new time library won't be replacing System.CPUTime.
2. A way to set an event (OS signal, IO () function, whatever) to happen a certain amount of time in the future, again without regard to leap seconds or gross alteration of the system clock.
If someone were to add this to the standard libraries, System.CPUTime would probably be a good place to put it. -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA
