I > am interested in the answer now though:) I believe this might be your answer: dima@hornet# sysctl machdep.tsc_freq machdep.tsc_freq: 498853267 The actual frequency is different every time you start up, and if your application doesn't care, just round it off. In case you're wondering how I found this, I used: `sysctl -a | grep 498` since I know 498 is my CPU frequency as reported by the kernel on startup.
