[development] coding standard question

[Steve Rude]

You are outputting in seconds.  Sure .06 seconds doesn't sound like a 
lot, but when you multiply that times 1000 to get milliseconds, it 
starts to look more substantial...

1326ms vs. 1382ms is 60ms, and when normal page load times are somewhere 
around 200ms, it makes a substantial difference.
