1) Is the gettimeofday() function reliable and fast on Solaris? If so, there really is no need to use gethrtime() here...

If http://blogs.sun.com/ksrini/entry/we_take_java_performance_very is to be believed gettimeofday() works and is fast. After all it is used in Java, and if it would be slow/wrong I think someone had complained by now...

2) Is the proposed solution (of moving the above code out of mysys and into Session) a good idea?


Assuming the above holds true and no one else is using it (what about HP/UX, btw? you mentioned that, too) I think it would be appropriate to move it up into Session. At least that would save one function call and could possibly be inlined and whatnot (and if not, you don't lose anything but potentially gain readability).

cheers,

p.s.: someone else probably knows more about the Solaris performance thing, but as with other things in mysys, I'd bet this is legacy...
