even a syscall on a rpi is going to cost you at least 5-10µs and clock drift will make this, and your second point very hard. > But using a TOD clock for measuring performance seems wrong > since it will also have to account for leapseconds (at the > moment timesync happily ignores leapseconds). - erik
