 :Well, certainly the one thing Big Finish writers assail you with throughout ''[[Gallifrey (audio series)|Gallifrey]]'' is the [[microspan]].  It's never precisely defined — but, my God, do they love that term.  It seems to be not exactly minutes or seconds, but something in between.
-:AS for other examples of time measurement, you might start with the (admittedly incomplete) [[:category:Units of time]].  Obviously the "biggest" DWU time measurement is the [[Dalek]] [[rel]], something equally as vague and equally as ubiquitous as the [[Gallifrey]]an [[microspan]]. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">04:36: Thu&nbsp;26 Jul 2012&nbsp;</span>

+::I didn't even realise we had a category for that!
+::Maybe I'll have to revisit ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]'' where they're waiting for stuff to happen and stuff's urgent. Maybe there's mention of units of time there.
+::[[Rel]] seems to double as a measure of speed and other things. At least microspan they grab to term and run with it. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 07:34, July 26, 2012 (UTC)
