All of this is quite insane, but the above is actually broken. You're
using wall-time to measure runtime of a preemptible thread.

On top of that, for extra insanity, you're using the frigging insane
timespec interface, because clearly the _ns() interfaces are too
complicated or something?

And that whole first thing is daft too, pull now out of the loop and
set it before, then all that goes away.

Now, I see what you're trying to do, but who actually uses this data?

Finally, please don't scream in the subject :/
