But the patch was a bugfix and the race was between
$class = $class == 'even' ? 'odd' : 'even'
$class = $flip[$class];
Because the key is not reliable, so we must flip the class.

I know that the microtime is not accurate but -- what else if you need subsecond? Even the most ancient PCs had a 1/18.2 second timer, I am not intimate on newer designs.
