These are very slow. Are they on a 486? :-) I get about 262 ns for
CLOCK_REALTIME using the TSC timecounter on all ~2GHz UP systems.
The syscall overhead is about 200 nsec (170 nsec for a simpler syscall
and maybe 30 nsec extra for copyin/out for clock_

I wrote a small micro-benchmark utility[1] to test various time
syscalls and the results were a bit surprising to me. The results
were from a UP machine and I believe that the difference between
gettimeofday(2) and clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME_FAST) would've
been bigger on an SMP system an
