there is such a thing in some of the other OSes as well - netperf will 
use it for -DHISTOGRAM because it typically is lower overhead.

however, my recollection of the manpages is that it is only good for 
relative time, not clock time.  perhaps that is "ok" here but it will 
be a semantic (right term?) difference from gettimeofday().

higher resolution timestamps would be nice.
