Re: What is a typical precision of gettimeofday()?

Hi Tom,

Did I understand correctly that you would prefer the documentation part to
be much smaller than it is now and all current the discussion about things
that are not strictly about the pg_test_timing to be not in the docs for it
?

My current plan is to move the other discussions around timing from th
edocs to PostgreSQL Wiki.

Would this be good ?
