What Michael also keeps forgetting, is that EpikTimer gives a unified
timing interface, which is very handy in cross-platform applications.
Yes we could manually use QueryPerformanceCounter under Windows,
clock_gettime() under Linux and FreeBSD, and fpgettimeofday() everywhere
else.... but EpikTimer gives us a clean API to use, and takes care of
the platform differences for us. Makes for much cleaner code in our
applications, which I personally think is nice!
