It's true:
run next on same PC от freebsd and linux  and compare

struct timeval start;
struct timeval stop;
struct timeval tmp;

register unsigned i;
unsigned difft;

gettimeofday(&start, NULL);
for(i=0;i<1000000; i++) {
        gettimeofday(&tmp, NULL);
}

gettimeofday(&stop, NULL);
difft= (unsigned) ( (stop.tv_sec - start.tv_sec)*1000000 + (stop.tv_usec -
start.tv_usec));
printf("%u\n", difft);
