Thank you for your quick answer!

I see the difference. Could it still be possible to make the "legacy"
interface, clock(), to provide a higher precision than what it does now? Maybe
by building it on top of clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, ...)? For
normal people, it is very inconvenient that "simple" calls do not provide high
resolution. As I said, it is a bit sad to have to re-implement boost::timer().
Of course, one could say that it is boost's problem, but as clock() is the
simple C interface, it would be nice for it to provide the maximum available
precision, that would make normal users happy :-)
