310     NKSP. However when calculating time differences between two time
311     stamps taken with <code>$NKSP_REAL_TIMER</code>, calling such a reset
312     function is not required, because the underlying clock does not stop
313     when it reached its value limit (which happens every 71 minutes), instead the clock
314     will automatically restart from zero and the calculated time difference
315     even between such transitions will reflect correct durations.</td>

321     time stamps which can be used to calculate the time difference
322     (in microseconds) which elapsed between them. A performance time
323     stamp is based on the script's actual CPU execution time. So the
324     internal clock which is used for generating such time stamps is only
325     running forward if the respective script is actually executed by the
326     CPU. Whenever your script is not really executed by the CPU (i.e. because
327     your script got suspended by a wait() call or got forcely suspended due to
328     real-time constraints, or when the entire sampler application got suspended
329     by the OS for other applications or OS tasks) then the underlying internal
330     clock is paused as well.

332     You should only use this built-in variable for script development
333     purposes (i.e. for bench marking the performance of your script).
334     You should <b>not</b> use it with your final production sounds!
335     It is not appropriate for being used in a musical context, because
336     when an offline bounce is performed for instance, the musical timing
337     will be completely unrelated to the CPU execution time. Plus using
338     this variable may cause audio drop outs on some systems. In a musical
