Just noticed Timer.getFPGATimestamp(), which strikes me as *probably* being better than System.currentTimeMillis() (though the former might be using the latter for all I know).

Anyone have any insight as too whether the two differ significantly? Don't want to do the rework if not significantly better (though will start with Timer.getFPGATimestamp() next year!)
