I think that this discussion touches on another question - are millisecond timings still sufficient when monitoring web applications?
I think that in 2017, with the astounding increases in processing power we have seen in the last decade, millisecond timings are too imprecise. The cost of capturing a timestamp in Linux on recent hardware is about 30 nanos, and the precision of such a timestamp is also around 30 nanos. I think that there is a good argument to be made for exposing timestamps at the maximum level of precison possible, rather than hiding what could be useful diagnostic data. Are there any lans within nginx to report higher resolution timings?
