But then, Linux likes to give you incredibly good timing accuracy with the one timing function intended to tell humans what time it is (gettimeofday()) and incredibly bad timing accuracy with all the others (including the ones that are explicitly documented as being intended for performance benchmarking), so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
At least it has an accurate timing function [wink]
