Andrew,

I like the idea of a record type for a time source.  A PerformanceLib 
constructor could add that record,
and performance log entries could be tagged with a time source record indicator.

I agree that any timer source that requires an algorithm to measure the 
frequency could get slightly
different frequency values which would increase the number of time source 
records for the same timer.

The other even more complicated issue is a performance record whose start value 
is set in one module
and stop value is set in a different module.  If those two modules use 
different TimerLib instances,
then it won't work.  Which is one of the reasons the single TimerLib instance 
solution is used.

Mike
