Not to discount any of your suggestions, but isn't the better performance of gettimeofday() (and perhaps clock_gettime() also) in Linux because they have access to the time in userland and can implement it without a system call? I seem to recall this being mentioned before, I could be wrong... --=20 DE ---559023410-851401618-1201008855=:4862--
