It would be great if it could be a simple function, however it is going to be difficult to produce something cross-platform and meaningful with a single function. (I know Anatol has written portable code, I haven't looked at it but I assume it's wrapping the various structs used by i.e. performance counters, hrtime, etc.) I don't think we can get away from having an object-based implementation to wrap those internal structs, but I do think this is a useful addition regardless of how it's presented.
