One of the most useful reasons for milliseconds is for timing things. I wouldn't want to pause a script for 10ms, but I would like to know the milliseconds now, then after an operation.

Sort of like this:

$start=@milliseconds ;new imaginary KiX macro that returns the milliseconds part of the current time

; my command here

"My command took " @milliseconds-$start "ms" ?

So, rather than the milliseconds of the current time, I would like to have the CPU ticks. That is, the milliseconds since last power on.
