Josh was addressing a separate issue. 

Re-read the original analysis again, this time more slowly, 
chewing 20 times before swallowing. Savor the flavor. 

The "sawtooth-ish" behavior is due to the bug in your printf 
format string, not ftime(3) (unless you have fixed the format 
bug and really are talking about non-monotonic output from 
ftime(3)). 

Where I merely excerpted the juiciest part of the ftime(3) man 
page, without explicitly making recommendations, Josh was 
explicitly recommending what the man page said. 

A rich experiment indeed
