<h3 id="cpu-time">CPU Time</h3>
<p>The CPU time is not the same as the <a href="TBD">os_time</a>. Typically,
the os_time is set to a much slower tick rate than the CPU time. The CPU
time should be used for timing real-time events at exact times. The os_time
should be used for system level timeout etc that are not in fine time
resolutions. In fact, cputime is not part of the os at all, but a hardware
layer abstraction to high resolution timers. </p>
<p>There are methods to get the cputime as 32-bit and 64-bit values. Both
values may eventually wrap, but for timing short events a 32-bit value
may be sufficient and would </p>
