ticksPerSecond is initialized in the runtime just before static constructors are run. See https://github.com/dlang/druntime/blob/2d8b28da39e8bc3bc3172c69bb96c35d77f40d2a/src/rt/dmain2.d#L130Are you calling Runtime.initialize()?
Nope, I guess I'm supposed to be? if so where do I place the call(s) for initialize() and terminate()?
