The Virtual Clock basically tracks time at the start of each frame, so
that every action done within that cycle will use the same time value. This is
usually desirable for most graphical and physics position calculations.
If you're looking for a value that changes within the frame cycle, use
csGetTicks() (milliseconds) or csGetMicroTicks() (microseconds). On linux
these functions use gettimeofday() to retrieve their values. On Windows they
use QueryPerformanceCounter.
