  ah right, I completely overlooked this when writing it !

 man 3 clock says

CONFORMING TO
       C89,  C99,  POSIX.1-2001.   POSIX  requires  that CLOCKS_PER_SEC
       equals 1000000 independent of the actual resolution.

so that should probably work, though xmllint code has the good point
of being widely tested.

  I guess either way is fine ...
  The fact it worked fine on WIN32 is a good news really :-)

  Well I will take any of those, though I have a slight preference for
a diff against git head, but do what is most convenient to you !

  thanks,
