Detailed timings display

One mostly for coders, here - and unlikely to be used frequently, if at all.

Although the log display normally shows times to the nearest second, all the system logs (admin, user, rolling) in fact store times to a greater accuracy. This will depend on the server, but at least 10-20ms resolution is likely, and microsecond resolution may be available.

The 'detailed' display option on the system logs display combines entries on all three logs, and displays time as accurately as possible. This allows you to see the precise sequence of events, and also exactly how long certain operations take.

Not sure how useful this is going to be, but if it wasn't there, we'd never know!
