gem install hitimes

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 of the following systems:

  • any system with the POSIX call clock_gettime(),
  • Mac OS X
  • 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.
