Lots of code is dependent on precise timing.
the statement was about execution timing

Yes many things depend on a maximum exection timing and many depend on a preceise timing, but those are apples and oranges. If you happen to depend on a minimum execution timing your code is best desribed by a word not to be used in a family friendly forum.

The issue in this thread is not "timing" pre se, but execution timing which, when an optimizer can tilt the apple cart is not considered as it should be.
