Bill, when you get time to look at this contact me offline and we can discuss.  
As I recall from looking at this before time duration classes can probably
meet your needs for timing specification.  However, posix_time doesn't
have a high precision clock yet which is the other part provided by xtime.
Someone is slated to work on that addition for posix_time in the near
future.
