hitimes version 0.2.1 has been released.

  gem install hitimes

http://copiousfreetime.rubyforge.org/hitimes/

Hitimes is a fast, high resolution timer library for recording performance
metrics. It uses the appropriate C method calls for each system to get the
highest granularity time increments possible.

It currently supports any system with the POSIX call clock_gettime() and OSX.
Windows is in the works.

Using Hitimes can be faster than using a series of Time.new calls, and it will
have a much higher granularity. It is definitely faster than using
Process.times.

{{ Release notes for Version 0.2.1 }}

* added Timer#rate method
* switched to darkfish rdoc

Process.times.

Might be nice to make a plugin for rails such that it augments
Benchmark.realtime and Benchmark.measure with your amazing library [as a
dropin speedup].
Thanks for the lib!
