My bad. This is result of extensive usage of Java where long is 64 bit...

I chosen 64 bits intentionally because time delta expressed in
microseconds can be very big value and 32 bit signed int can only represent
about 30 minutes. Obviously, where we need microsecond precision, we are
measuring very small intervals so even 32 bit int is ok. But I just didn't
want surprise someone who could use this function for long intervals.

I can fix the patch in both ways but I would prefer "true" 64 bits. What
do you think?
