Yes. Anything that makes ex.exe handle interrupts directly,

Most programs probably don't care how long time() takes.
It's less than a millisecond on my machine, even in the slow case.
It's typically used just to measure elapsed time, such as when benchmarking.
In DOS, it can affect multitasking, depending on how often
your tasks yield, and whether they are time-shared, or real-time.
Language War spends 90% of it's time in the scheduler,
just waiting for some time to elapse so it can run the next task
at the desired time.

Yes, maybe tomorrow.
