Alexander, as I said I'm really curious about any situation where os.times() is so performance-critical that a 5% slowdown for that function call is unacceptable. Even when a profiler is involved, os.times() is not the only overhead added by profiling, there is also all the bookkeeping needed for recording various statistics... Perhaps by profiling the profiler we would have an answer :)
