Stopwatch getting behind

[racielrod]

Hi,

I had been using the stopwatch for a time-tracking application.
I use it to reflect the elapsed time in the client side. I had a report from a user running long tasks that the timer was reflecting less time than what was actually happening.

I conducted a test and I could see that effectively the stopwatch gets behind. Since I'm keeping track of the starting time in the server, every time the page refreshes the stopwatch is actually corrected with the right elapsed time, but this behavior is misleading for the end user.

Why is this happening? Any workaround?
