| |
I have a program that I very often need to calculate the current time, with milisecond accuracy. I've been using gettimeofday(), but gprof shows it's taking a significant (10% or so) amount of time. Is there a faster (and perhaps less portable?) way to get the time information on x86? My program runs as root, so should have any permissions it needs to use some backdoor hack if that helps!
Thanks, Ben
