There's a site (http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/js-dates.htm) with a  
table comparing timing resolution of different browsers. It shows  
that IE and Firefox on Windows have an updating interval of 10 msec  
or worse, whereas Mac browsers tend to be closer to 1 msec. (The  
Firefox/OSX entry must be for FF1.0 -- FF1.5 on my Mac has an  
updating interval of 1 or thereabouts.) Numerical resolution is close  
to 1 across the board, though.
