Do we still need these configure changes?  It doesn't look like your patch
actually uses them, and I think gettimeofday should be as fast as
gethrtime and probably more portable.

Using alloca isn't a bad idea, but it requires that we have a fallback
available for those platforms that don't have it, which requires that we
call alloca(0) periodically and which would mean some infrastructure
work.

Thank you very much for your patch!
