But the returned value is still in ms?

Is the base value (meaning of 0) truly unknown, or is it something like the 
time when grub was started? If the latter, does grub save the datetime of when 
it was started, in which case the actual current time in ms could be clculated?

>Also on some platforms you can get better resolution. 

Presumalby, with a different function?

>Do you need better resolution than 1ms? 

No.
