Precise timings ?

[Madhusudan Singh]

Hi

I am using time.clock() to get the current time of the processor in seconds.
For my application, I need really high resolution but currently seem to be
limited to 0.01 second. Is there a way to specify the resolution (say 1-10
microseconds) ? My processor is a 1.4 MHz Intel processor. Surely, it
should be able to report times a few (or at least 10) microseconds apart.

Thanks.
