    Hello!

    What is the best way to measure elapsed time (wall-clock) between 2
    events up to at least ms? gettimeofday is bad, because clock can be
    moved ahead or back, thus producing incorrect results. clock returns
    only time that process was running. setitimer? But this one allows only
    one timer per process, would it work in multi-threaded enviroment where
    multiple threads would require their own time measurement?

    TIA

    Andrei
