 The worst offender is probably AudioContext, where you can get
 the current time thus:

 {{{
 var audioContext = new AudioContext();
 audioContext.currentTime;
 }}}

 Similarly, HTMLVideoElement.currentTime, HTMLAudioElement.currentTime, and
 CanvasCaptureMediaStream.currentTime can be used as a time source with
 resolution better than 10 ms.
