This may be a dumb question, but why (on Linux) is System.nanotime() a call out to clock_gettime? It seems like it could be inlined by the JVM, and stripped down to the rdtsc instruction. From my reading of the vDSO source for x86, the implementation is not that complex, and could be copied into Java.
