Perhaps this restriction is intentional here because its an integer, 
looking at Ticks property for
DateTime object - 
http://www.go-mono.com/docs/index.aspx?link=P%3aSystem.Environment.TickCount

It appears to have much better resolution, so you should be able to 
create DateTime variable with DateTime.Now value
and then use difference between current and originally recorded time - 
no need to use System.Environment for this anyway since it would apply 
to the whole app
rather than benchmarked part of code.
