Subject: [PATCH v7 16/16] progress: simplify performance measurement by using getnanotime()

From: Karsten Blees <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 02 Jul 2014 01:05:14 +0200

Calculating duration from a single uint64_t is simpler than from a struct
timeval. Change throughput measurement from gettimeofday() to
getnanotime().

Also calculate misec only if needed, and change integer division to integer
multiplication + shift, which should be slightly faster.
