The two functions are for a different behaviour. The one is for the system time, the other for the process time. Also gettimeofday uses nanoseconds and times uses clock ticks. > I don't think RDTSC will work on SMP machines. Well, SMP Linux should syncronize the RDTSC of the cores on boot. Any I don't believe anyone runs the cores with different speeds. So this shouldn't be a problem?! But I could be wrong, I never coded time stuff on SMP machines. > Personally, I think gettimeofday() is alot better than what microsoft > has for timekeeping. No clue what Microsoft offers for timekeeping. -- MyExcuse: Telecommunications is downshifting.
