This is a timestamp i get from NLog
16:03:39.5813
Ive read online discussions on weather the accuracy should and can be milliseconds or 16ms increments but the timestamp after the dot seems to count up to 10.000! What is it?

System.DateTime has the ability for sub-millisecond precision (0.0001 ms):

NLog shows an extra decimal incase the machine has enabled high-resolution timers. It is similar to using this format-strimg: HH:mm:ss.ffff

But usually the default time-resolution of DateTime.UtcNow is 1-16 ms.
