Yep, and on 5.3-STABLE of 12/2004 on a Xeon 2.8G

       null function: 0.00460
            getpid(): 0.41424
              time(): 0.55854
      gettimeofday(): 0.54748


But, while repeating, I've seen values of time() and gettimeofday()
changing even to more then 2 secs.


For the records here is the result on a Linux kernel 2.6.12-1.1380_FC3
(Fedora Core 3) on a P4 1.8G

       null function: 0.00947
            getpid(): 0.00988
              time(): 3.80196
      gettimeofday(): 4.04731
