- Time millisecondClockValue and its use of gettimeofday. It turns out
that in our settings, Time millisecondClockValue takes about 10% total execution time (we use it for measuring throughput so it does get called *a lot*). We will work around this by adding a low-res clock that gets updated without calling gettimeofday but it was interesting to notice how much time goes into that.
For discussion on that topic, there might be some input in this thread ;-)
