See https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2018/01/03/mitigations-landing-new-class-timing-attack/

We can adjust ::RoundTime in dom/base/nsPerformance.cpp to accomplish this, but we need to make sure this gets called by both regular DOM and workers. See https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/e56bc3c9a172 for the locations.

We don't have, and now probably won't ever implement, SharedArrayBuffer.
