good idea, I hated it as well and preferred to put it into the if()) but

Hi,
How about TSC? I know this has disadvantages such as:
a) not all machines have TSC
b) not all machines that claim to have TSC have a usable one.
c) on SMP the kernel makes a best effort to synchronize TSC but this may
or may not be guaranteed
d) you still need a userspace implementation

I went to bed last night while others were listening to
xmms on my workstation while working in the room.
This morning I found that xmms was frozen,
