And I think we should have too:

Now() -> Like Michael proposed. Implemented with precision, but with a
switch for existing code bases to hack it into being fast.

And for new projects 2 new methods:

NowUTC() -> Current time in UTC
GetMonotonousTimeCount() -> Gives the number of microseconds since an
unspecified initial time which is totally fixed. This one people
should use for more precision timing.
