I wonder if this is related to what Netflix found as a regression.

The bug Netflix tripped over was something I introduced while shaving off milliseconds, yes.

The "other issues I didn't get around to fixing" are things like precomputing lookup tables (we can wait and do them on demand, or not at all if they turn out to never get used) and an O(n^2) issue registering names of sysctls.
