David, Note that the nonsignificant bits at the low end of the fraction word are purposly filled with a random bitstring. My machine has a precisioni -19, so there are 19 meaningful bits in the fraction along with a carefully manufactured 13 bits of fuzz. This is done both to make it harder to predict timestamps and smooth out tiny wiggles due to roundoff and bias. It doesn't make sense to split the microseconds in the readouts. For what it's worth, the statistics files display offsets to the nanosecond.
