Subjectgettimeofday being faster than getpid?
Hi!

I did some tests, and when I replace getuid() or getpid() with
gettimeofday(), it actually gets faster.

getuid takes 14usec on my machine.
gettimeofday takes 4usec on my machine.

I think that is pretty strange.

#include <sys/time.h>
#include <unistd.h>

void main(void)
{
struct timeval tv1, tv2, tv3;

gettimeofday(&tv1, 0);
getuid(); <--- here
gettimeofday(&tv2, 0);

printf("Time1: %d:%d\n", tv1.tv_sec, tv1.tv_usec);
printf("Time2: %d:%d\n", tv2.tv_sec, tv2.tv_usec);
}
