I prefer to just return the time as a single number, with decimal
precision. lusocket has

 http://sam-github.github.com/luasocket/socket.html#gettime

It has (theoretically) nanosecond resolution on windows, and
millisecond on unix.

And, of course, I wrote my own before noticing that it existed:

https://github.com/sam-github/libnet/blob/master/lua/net.c, lnet_gettimeofday()

I bet luaposix has one, too.
