We don't use seconds. We use milliseconds since the Unix epoch.

I dislike floating point timestamps because of two things:

 * Python is the only language I have ever heard of that use floats for timestamps
 * Float-comparisons (and thus db-indexes) are less effective than integer comparisons

Use REAL for timestamps

Bug description:
Seconds are not fine-grained enough to differentiate events, so we should store the timestamps as floating-point numbers.
