While this topic is open, for those of use writing real-time schedulers,
Squeak *really* needs a microsecond clock, and microsecond delays. I'd beg
for the following new built-in methods (given a usec primitive, I can
provide implementations):

	Delay forMicroseconds: x,
	Delay untilMilliseconds: x,
	Delay untilMicroseconds: x,
and
	Time microsecondClockValue.
