I am using timestamp() in DTrace for timing some events, in particular duration of a lock (i.e. time elapsed between the acquisition and release of a mutex lock). I am getting pretty high numbers. But when I time the lock by explicitly using timing functions such as gethrtime(), I get pretty low numbers. Does this mean timestamp() doesn't give us the accurate measurements? What are the alternatives?
