You should use the StopWatch class (the implementation internally will
use mono_100ns_ticks) for monotonic time and DateTime if you want
the time (equivalent of calling gettimeofday() in C).
If you need more control than that, you can p/invoke clock_gettime(),
though you'll lose somewhat in portability.
