Sure, I get it is not perfect for the polling use-case due to the scenario
you mention, but I don't think it will be acceptable to call
GetCurrentTimeStamp() at the end of every execution and especially
with a SpinLock held.
This will probably be worse for nested_tacking as well, due to
multiple GetCurrentTimeStamp() calls.
What do you think?
