    Not portably.  There evidently exist a number of SYSV-derived unices
    in which getting a usable millisecond wall-clock time is not possible.
    In the interest of keeping the MOO server runnable on the widest
    possible variety of OSes/architectures, Pavel elected not to put in
    a suspend/fork-for-milliseconds construct (something which we started to
    badly want when LambdaMOO's task-seconds-limit dropped to 3).
