title: Python clock function on FreeBSD
body: <p>While testing Pythons time.clock() function on FreeBSD I've noticed it always returns the same value, around 0.156</p>
  
  <p>The time.time() function works properly but I need a something with a slightly higher resolution.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone the C function it's bound to and if there is an alternative high resolution timer?</p>
  
  <p>I'm not profiling so the TimeIt module is not really appropriate here.</p>
