I just had an idea: if we could get each test to run inside a single time slice assigned by the OS scheduler, then we could benefit from the better resolution of the hardware timers while still keeping the noise to a minimum.

I suppose this could be achieved by: * making sure that each tests needs less than 10ms to run iirc, very recent linux kernels have a 1 millisecond tick. so does alphas, and probably some other platforms.

Indeed, that's also what the microbench.py example that I posted demonstrates.

And of, course, you have to call time.sleep() before running the test (which microbench.py does).
