Can you try this: run the following command for a couple of seconds, it
should give you an idea about the system clock precision.

Redirected to a file, I get about 1250 unique timestamps per second,
nicely distributed it seems.
Hmm... a modified version of your command paints a completely different
picture:
{ while true; do touch t; ls -l --full-time t; done; } | uniq
prints exactly *two* lines per second, one every 0.5 second, exact down
to the millisecond.
No idea why yet, but this explaines everything I guess. Asking Google...
