Hitimes is a fast, high resolution timer library for recording  
performance metrics. It uses the appropriate C method calls for each  
system to get the highest granularity time increments possible.

It currently supports any system with the POSIX call clock\_gettime(),  
Mac OS X and Windows.

Using Hitimes can be faster than using a series of Time.new calls, and  
it will have a much higher granularity. It is definitely faster than  
using Process.times.
