I'd be really interested to hear his thoughts on this as well.

Please forgive the naive question, but I'm wondering, does this affect what runs here: http://www.webkit.org/perf/sunspider-0.9.1/sunspider-0.9.1/driver.html ?

If so, don't we need to keep it cross browser compatible?

If not, are we concerned that the results used within the project are not comparable to the public ones? Should we maintain support for timing the same way as the public one? Should the results on rniwa's perf dashboard match internal or public?

Also worth noting there is talk in the public-web-perf group about adding a high-res monotonically increasing timer to the web platform -- likely as window.performance.now() -- see bug 66684.
