hmm. I could have sworn clock() returned the sum of the utime and stime
fields you get from getrusage() (which is the sum of the utime and stime
tick counters for all tasks associated with the process, converted from
jiffy count to the appropriate time unit), but glibc is one big maze of
twisty little passages, so I'm probably looking at the wrong place.
oh, well.
