Use clock_gettime instead of time(3), patch attached. 

Another question, since POSIX.1-2008 marks gettimeofday() as obsolete
(man gettimeofday), should the usec test part be changed to
clock_getime as well?

Thanks,

Hi all,
   
   In my recent tests, not all desired time be equal to exact execution time, 
   use clock_gettime to improve precision.
