    Once upon a time, as I was young, I startet to code on my good old Amiga.

    At some point, I tired to write a little stopwatch. At this time I still was very low on experience, so I've used "wait" commands to count the seconds.

    While using it, I've noticed an issue: The higher the overall load of my system was, the slower the seconds got counted.

    Solution: always read the hardware clock.

    I don't know how they have coded that stuff into the servers. But this comparision caused a deja vu.
