I don't have a MAC so I can't test any of this, but supposedly mach_timebase_info() returns the frequency of mach_absolute_time(), so you could do similar frequency-scaling as I do for Windows with QueryPerformanceFrequency().

The TSC is synchronized across cores and sockets on modern x86 hardware [1] (at least since Intel Nehalem, i.e. all Core i[357] processors). On older machines, I would expect the OS API to choose a more appropriate time source, e.g. the HPET. I'm not proposing to use asm("rdtsc") or anything like that...
