If you want to do performance profiling like comparing between assembler 
and C versions of a routine in my opinion there are better ways to do 
that than using log timestamps. But I also have nothing against adding 
more positions after the decimal point, if you prefer that.

The usecase I see for log timestamps is more to find out whether a 
warning message appeared at the begin, middle, or end of the transcoding 
process.
