> - User touches (e.g. a UIButton), a "touch" object is created and enqueued on the dispatch thread (main thread)
> - The touch object is dequeued, a UIEvent object is created and dispatched to the target object (for handling)

From this I assume that [event timestamp] is somewhat later than the actual time that user touched the UIButton - how much later depends on system activity around that time. Is this assumption correct? If so, is there a way to get the time that the user touched the interface? The small number (indeterminate) of milliseconds lag between touch time and event time is important to me. I can tolerate processing the event after an indeterminate lag but I do need to know when the actual touch occurred.
