If we're using the same definitions we discussed offline, where

  - resolution is the units the clock call (underneath) works in (for
    example, nanoseconds)

  - precision is the effective precision of the results, for example
    milliseconds

I'd say people would care if they knew, and mostly care about
"precision".
