SDL_GetTicks doesn't always have millisecond accuracy, it's 
platform-dependent, while TIMESTAMP is used to label all events, 
especially network ones which require high precision.

I was thinking about using SDL_GetTicks as a fallback anyway :

#ifdef HAVE_RDTSC
RDTSC()
#else
SDL_GetTicks()
#endif
