title: Is there a way to call the RDTSC assembly instruction from C#?
body: <p>I want a very high resolution timer for my C# application. I'd like to access the RDTSC assembly instruction. Is there a way to do this?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I am porting some C++ code and trying to retain the same functionality as the original. I may switch to something more .NET, but want to evaluate the RDTSC instruction so I can compare results to the original.</p>
