The upshot of asking this question (ignoring the hypervisor element) is 
that there is no (current) effective difference between the result of 
the two calls. This combined with your [Richard Levitte] own SP 800-90A 
section 4 observation suggests that SYS$GETTIM_PREC may be eliminated 
while still maintaining compliance.
