With the Mac VM 5.4b1 I have a microsecond clock. http://n4.nabble.com/microsecond-timing-for-GC-work-td1016253.html
zero feedback, maybe it's too fast and you never get above 1 millisecond in testing eh?
Thanks that indeed shown a difference in my machine. But, then other question, why the default implementation of DateAndTime now and TimeStamp now isn't smaller than a second. By sending now I get a DateAndTime object but by sending millesecondClockValue a get a SmallInteger representing the number of milliseconds. But there isn't in the class side of both classes and neither in Time class a method to build a DateAndTime, a TimeStamp or a Time from milliseconds. So to convert this value to a date again I will have to trunk the time to a second resolution. Is this analysis correct? Of course I could index my objects in the list with the millis number but I would be happier if I could index them with a real date object. Anyway, not that that is a show stopper, is just that when creating objects I'm assigning a creation date and I would like to find what objects are older that others created at about the same lapse, without resorting to use their position in an external data structure (i.e. the OrderedCollection, an array or the line number in a file). Thanks to everyone for the answers.

Miguel,
Pharo allows you to drill down to millisecond resolution, but for your 'benchmark' that's still too coarse:
{DateAndTime. TimeStamp } collect: [ :class | | list | list := OrderedCollection new. 1 to: 1000 do: [ :each | value := class millisecondClockValue. list add: value ]. list last - list first ].
I get an Array (1 1).
Changing from 1000 to 100000 (hundred fold) I got #(77 141).

have a precision of seconds, that is, the nanos is always 0.
I am doing a bulk data creation and inserting them in a list with a timestamp for each insertion but this isn't working because several entries have the very same DateAndTime or Timestamp.
For example:
{DateAndTime. TimeStamp } collect: [ :class | | list | list := OrderedCollection new. 1 to: 1000 do: [ :each | value := class now. list add: value ]. list last - list first ]
gives an Array(0:00:00:00 0:00:00:00)
How can achieve smaller than a second timestamping in Pharo? -- Miguel Cobá http://miguel.leugim.com.mx
