[Ace-users] [ace-users] measurement with ACE_High_Res_Timer

Hi Ricardo,

There's no easy/portable way to do this - I suspect you'll need to
disable signals and run the thread at the highest real-time priority
to avoid an preemption.  If anyone else has a better suggestion please
let us know.

Thanks,
