Hi,
	I am interested in knowing about process timing in UNIX?
Please let me know any references, other than the source code. I
am also interested in knowing the accuracy of process timing in
various operating systems. Any operating system that bases its
process timing mechanism on a snap-shot oriented scheme is going
to have errors, and I am interested in any studies that have been 
done to compute these errors.

Thank you very much,
-dheeraj
