Although difftime() returns a (double) time difference, the parameters  
it takes are in (time_t) seconds. On many platforms, (time_t) is a  
32-bit signed integer, so doing that would leave us without sub-second  
resolution. Therefor I prefer to use gettimeofday() here which returns  
(struct timeval) with a microsecond resolution, instead of time()  
which might return something with sub-second resolution, but in many  
cases won't.

Historically, struct timeval would return the microseconds as a (long)  
value and only relatively recently this was changed to (suseconds_t).  
However, we could probably safely cast this to (long), which is large  
enough for the range we need here (0..1999998).
