DOM timers and the system clock.

You miss the point.  It is not necessary for the system clock of a computer
to use local time in order for the operating system to display local time..  
Not even in Germany, which you claim to know so well (but in fact haven't
got the slightest clue about). (...)

JFTR: Pointy is austrian, not german. Isn't it, Pointy ?

Yes. I wrote this to test that: http://jorgechamorro.com/cljs/097/

My findings (on an intel Mac):

- Opera triggers faster a setInterval(f,1) than a setInterval(f,0).
- Mozillas and Safari max out @ ~100Hz no matter what (0 ... 10) ms.
- Chrome at 0..5ms gives 230Hz.
- iCab comparatively flies: a setInterval(f,0) runs at more than 2KHz.
