On the win32 platform should you not
be using time.clock vs. time.time ?

Well, whatelse can I use?

I'm not sure you understood what he was saying. time.time() and
time.clock() can both be used for elapsed timing, but because of a fluke of
implementation, time.time() is more precise on Linux, and time.clock() is
more precise on Windows.

So, use time.clock().

That's exactly what I was getting at, only I couldn't
have been bothered explaining why! :)
