Isn't gettimeofday a little bit out of accuracy?
times is much better for this kind of issue! At least I always use it for
time measurement in my video server. It also isn't affected by a time
change.
Or RDTSC for Intel like processors.

Maybe someone should change the hl linux codes to not use gettimeofday.
