BTW, I've updated the page to point at the timestamp wrapper library:

     http://www.watson.org/~robert/freebsd/clock/

Still the imperfect prototype, I'd love to see some practical feedback on any 
performance impact it has for MySQL or other applications along those lines. 
Basically, you preload this library and set an environmental variable to
override the application's selection of clock quality for gettimeofday() and 
time().
