No, I meant that the best resolution of the independent timer chips
available on the PC is around a microsecond (OK; 0.8 microsecond, but
who's counting?)  Since there are reliably no timers with better
resolution in a standard PC, there's no point in reporting any finer
resolution.

Perhaps we should set CLOCKS_PER_SEC (or whatever) to 1193046 ?
