Here is my reasoning (in code form):
I fear it never made sense -- even with pure Python functions: I tried to calibrate under Linux and failed miserably: apparently, the "clock" resolution is very coarse introducing a very high variance which is very bad for calibration. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
