The nanosecond option has always puzzled me, if only because on my box |
| 13 |
I never get any finer grained output than microseconds... i.e. date |
| 14 |
+%N always gives 0 as the last three digits. |

Now technically this computer runs at 2 GHz... so presumably it is |
| 17 |
possible to hit the enter key "not exactly on the microsecond". Is |
| 18 |
there something in the kernel? or the clock? |
