[tor-commits] [tor/master] Add a function to compute millisecond time difference quickly.



commit 9abf541f7f70068b6f7567481739ca6374f1fd57

    Add a function to compute millisecond time difference quickly.
    
    Our main function, though accurate on all platforms, can be very
    slow on 32-bit hosts.  This one is faster on all 32-bit hosts, and
    accurate everywhere except apple, where it will typically be off by
    1%.  But since 32-bit apple is a relic anyway, I think we should be
    fine.
