Don't you find the Windows numbers too perfect? It's hard to believe 
in sub-microsecond accuracy. Maybe there is a bias in my script.



integer ON;

default {

      touch_start(integer n) {
         ON = ! ON;
         if (ON) llSetTimerEvent (0.1);
         else    llSetTimerEvent (0.0);
     }

     timer() {
         float t = llGetAndResetTime ();
         llSay (0, (string) (1000*t));
     }

}
