[time-nuts] Time stamp degradation being added in javascript

[David]

Possibly not of immediate concern to time-nuts but an article had some 
trigger words for them in the initial fixes to the much publicised 
problems with Intel/AMD/ARM etc :

"After these changes, the time stamp returned by |performance.now| will 
be less precise due to lower resolution. Some browsers are going a step 
further and degrade the accuracy by adding a random jitter."
