As part of our mitigations against Speculative Side Channel Attacks <https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/ssca>, Chrome 64 will reduce the resolution of DOMHighResTimeStamps to 100us. We are also introducing 100us of random jitter to the clock edges to prevent attempts to increase resolution via edge-thresholding. The returned time will be within +/100us of real time, however there will be no guarantee as to duration (in real time) of clock pulses between these 100us intervals. We intend for this to be a temporary measure while other mitigation are introduced, however we do not have a timeline for restoring the previous precision. Ross / Sami
