Can we get a version of CoinTimer that works for real time and/or cpu time? It could be an option in the constructor as to which version you want to use? That would be helpful for multi-threaded apps.

Thanks, Matt

Sure, it could be added when stable/2.7 is created. However, how do you want it? Right now the timer uses cpu for SELF only. The timer could use cpu for SELF + CHILDREN... Or, as you suggest, wallclock. Can you provide a patch that serves you best (but preserves current behavior, i.e., codes using the current timer would not need to be changed to preserve behavior)? Then I'll add it to trunk and then it'll be part of stable/2.7
