JDK-4123961 - (hpi) Need higher resolution System.currentTimeMillis on Win32
Description
The specification of java.lang.System.currentTimeMillis() should explicitly
state that while the unit of time of the return value is one millisecond, the
granularity of the value is dependent upon the underlying operating system and
may be larger.  Many operating systems, for example, only measure time in units 
of tens of milliseconds.
