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.
