Measuring time in CMU Common Lisp

[Ledeniov Oleg]

Hi All!

In my work I need to make some precise time measurements.
The built-in function (get-internal-run-time) returns result
in hundredth parts of second - that is not precise enough.
How can I obtain the result in milliseconds or - even better -
in microseconds? Is it possible?
I work with CMU Common Lisp.

TIA,

`unix:unix-gettimeofday' may give you what you need.

I could tell you, but then I would have to reboot you.
