[PD] precise milisecond/second counter

[ilya .д]

hello list.

i was terribly surprised the way [metro] behaves -

checking it agains [timer] of coruse doesn't give any latency ever!

but with [realtime] and [cputime] - the result is is far from acceptable
and even unproportional, (icresing twice doesn't give any aproximatable
result).

how ever the system load was quite hight -
/proc/loadavg: 3.29 3.31 3.54 6/268 22074
and even > 5.0  at some point..

i run linux 2.6.20 with built in RT_MUTEX ..
i never noticed any latency while interacting via gui..
how ever there was a bit of acceptable audio latency when i was
programing some effects using live input and comparing to pd's streight
wire from adc~ to dac~ (inside a busy patch) there was a noticable delay ..

however i assumed [metro] to be closer to ideal , really ..

so i have actually made a patch which give a very precise ticking.

please have a look ..
