    @remarks
        Mind the types! Ogre::Timer::getMicroseconds() will return an unsigned
        long, which will eventually overflow. But if you use the subtraction of
        the current time minus the last time the timer gave us and sum these up to
        a 64 bit integer, we get the desired result.
        Also mind that we don't have to store the last timer's time as unsigned long
        as well because (unsigned long)tickTime_ will do exactly that.
