I added new clock_gettime() variants that allow retrieval of a low accuracy low granularity on -CURRENT, time stamp at low cost. I also wrote a small wrapper library to allow people to compare before/after with various benchmarks. I never really heard back from anyone authoritatively. phk has also been circulating patches that reduce general CPU accounting measurement in the CPU by switching to a different definition of CPU time, which should also affect MySQL significantly, especially when running the MySQL benchmark client and server on the same hardware.
