/*
	On 680x0 machines, we just use Microseconds().
	
	On PowerPC machines, we try several methods:
	  * DriverServicesLib is available on all PCI PowerMacs, and perhaps
	    some NuBus PowerMacs. If it is, we use UpTime() : Overhead = 2.1 µsec.
	  * The PowerPC 601 has a built-in "real time clock" RTC, and we fall
	    back to that, accessing it directly from asm. Overhead = 1.3 µsec.
	  * Later PowerPCs have an accurate "time base register" TBR, and we 
	    fall back to that, access it from PowerPC asm. Overhead = 1.3 µsec.
	  * We can also try Microseconds() which is emulated : Overhead = 36 µsec.

	On PowerPC machines, we avoid the following:
	  * OpenTransport is available on all PCI and some NuBus PowerMacs, but it
	    uses UpTime() if available and falls back to Microseconds() otherwise.
	  * InputSprocket is available on many PowerMacs, but again it uses
	    UpTime() if available and falls back to Microseconds() otherwise.

	Another PowerPC note: certain configurations, especially 3rd party upgrade
	cards, may return inaccurate timings for the CPU or memory bus -- causing
	skew in various system routines (up to 20% drift!). The VIA chip is very
	accurate, and it's the basis for the Time Manager and Microseconds().
	Unfortunately, it's also very slow because the MacOS has to (a) switch to
	68K and (b) poll for a VIA event.
	
	We compensate for the drift by calibrating a floating point scale factor
	between our fast method and the accurate timer at startup, then convert
	each sample quickly on the fly. I'd rather not have the initialization 
	overhead -- but it's simply necessary for accurate timing. You can drop
	it down to 30 ticks if you prefer, but that's as low as I'd recommend.

	Under MacOS 9, "new world" Macs (iMacs, B+W G3s and G+W G4s) have a native
	Time Manager implementation: UpTime(), Microseconds(), and TickCount() are
	all based on the same underlying counter. This makes it silly to calibrate
	UpTime() against TickCount(). We now check for this feature using Gestalt(),
	and skip the whole calibration step if possible.
