+ * This program can be used to calibrate the clock reading jitter of a

+ * of an array, in order to force pages into memory, then repeatedly
+ * reads the system clock and, finally, writes out the time values for
+ * later analysis. From this you can determine the jitter and if the
+ * clock ever runs backwards.
