/*
 * This program can be used to calibrate the clock reading jitter of a
 * particular CPU and operating system. It first tickles every element
 * of an array, in order to force pages into memory, then repeatedly calls
 * gettimeofday() and, finally, writes out the time values for later
 * analysis. From this you can determine the jitter and if the clock ever
 * runs backwards.
