> Subject: UIEvent timestamp clarification
> 
> 
> Reading through the docs, the approximate flow from a user touching an 
> interface component (e.g. a button) to the touch event being processed by the 
> application is:
> 
>  - User touches (e.g. a UIButton), a "touch" object is created and enqueued 
> on the dispatch thread (main thread)
>  - The touch object is dequeued, a UIEvent object is created and dispatched 
> to the target object (for handling)
> 
> The docs also state that the timestamp of the UIEvent [event timestamp] is 
> the time that the event was created.  From this I assume that [event 
> timestamp] is somewhat later than the actual time that user touched the 
> UIButton - how much later depends on system activity around that time.  Is 
> this assumption correct? If so, is there a way to get the time that the user 
> touched the interface?  The small number (indeterminate) of milliseconds lag 
> between touch time and event time is important to me.  I can tolerate 
> processing the event after an indeterminate lag but I do need to know when 
> the actual touch occurred.
