Depends on the system IMO. I certainly want the TSC when I'm profiling something highly-performance-sensitive on my workstation. Yet I am hard-pressed to see why any userspace app on my Mom's chromebook requires a ~1ns counter.. some stuff there may be currently using it, but that is different from "actually requires it"/"should continue to have it from an overall cost/benefit point of view".
- macawfish 9y agoSpeak for yourself, but I've been totally pumped about web audio for the last few years. This casts dark shadows across my dreams.
- rphlx 9y agoWell, web pages that have a legit need for higher res could request it in the same way that webcam or location access is requested today.
- gizmo686 9y agoExcept that a typical user understands the implications of giving camera or location access. I doubt most would understand the implication of giving clock access.
