| also make it nsec...
Since it is a 64 bt value, better would be pico-secs if it is going
to continue to be a timeval/timespec kind of number - but better would be
to make it be a binary fraction of a second (ie: fixed point with the
point to the left of the MSBit position - then the precision can grow
as needed (to absurd values) without canging the API)
Either is possible, although converting to fixed-point fraction is
marginally more expensive (requires a division vs multiplication).
Does anyone else have any preferences? I'd prefer that the next "touch"
on this be the last one, at least for a while. :)
