In Java
System.currentTimeMillis()
returns the time of the system real-time clock which can change at any time, e.g. if your NTP client adjusts it. If this happens while a diff is running the timeout may increase or decrease in an undeterministic way.For this reason time calculation in Java should always use
System.nanoTime()
which usually bases on the monotonic increasing tick counter of the CPU (see System.nanoTime() JavaDoc)The other edits are just minor code clean-up.
