How about adding a --disable-fuzz configure option so we can experiment 
without breaking the default case.

Or maybe a runtime configure option.

Early Raspberry Pis have a 1 microsecond tick,  It takes a bit less than that 
to read the clock.  If you are lucky, you can read the clock twice and get the 
same answer.
