The nanosecond option has always puzzled me, if only because on my box
I never get any finer grained output than microseconds... i.e. date
+%N always gives 0 as the last three digits.
Now technically this computer runs at 2 GHz... so presumably it is
possible to hit the enter key "not exactly on the microsecond". Is
there something in the kernel? or the clock?
