I can produce unprecise timestamps just as fast as Linux.

Heck,  I can do it even faster:

	static __inline int
	gettimeofday(struct timeval *tp, void *tz __unused)
	{
		tp.tv_sec = 0;
		tp.tv_usec = 0;
		return (0);
	}


A very important part of learning how to do benchmarks is learning
how to measure the target and not the benchmarking code.
