-Returns the current 'loop time' in millisecond increments. The value returned by this method does not necessarily correlate to wall-clock time, rather the value is meant to be used in relative comparisons to prior values returned by this method (e.g.: interval calculations, expiration times, etc.). The value returned by this method is only updated once per loop tick. This method is a faster alternative to `time()` and `microtime()`, which require a system call.
