 It is for the HARE project (Plan 9 on the BG/P).  I am basically
 running direct comparisons against Brazil, which also used nsec.  I need
 to calc the time used in each of several steps in starting, stopping,
 and running tasks as well as the time it takes to distribute input data
 and accumulate the results.  From the published results I'm guessing
 that I need millisecond resolution, but not sure of the requirements.

 At this point I am following after Brazil's original implementation,
 however I also built a little tool to cache timestamps in memory and
 grab them from anywhere in the code.  If you have other suggestions I
 would love to hear them.
