Hello,
I have a question why pfmon does not measure the TSC counts on the IA32
platform, using the RDTSC instruction ? I've seen that earlier versions
of perfmon had a function that did this (get_timestamp). The nice thing
I like on TSC is that it keeps counting while the processor/processors
are halted or even powered down, so that it gives more precise
estimation of the wall clock time than the other tick counters (i.e.
GLOBAL_POWER_EVENTS:RUNNING).
Tomas
