If you want better resolution but don't need real precision, a
timer will let you write out the uptime say, every 5 minutes,
with minimal blocking as it would be a fast operation. Or
even use an idle timer. You wouldn't have to worry much about
losing a lot of information in a crash and you wouldn't even
need a kill-emacs hook.
It all depends on your use case. If you're using this for
project tracking or billing, a 5 minute margin of error
wouldn't be all that bad.
