Check ML archive. There was once an implementation posted.

Could you please clarify what exactly it's suposed to do?
BOOST_CHECK_NO_THROW makes sure that expression doesn't throw. How do you
connect it with profiling?

Couple notes:

1. Next version of Boost.Test includes test cases timing.
2. I do interested in high resolution timer for both Windows and Unix(es). I
found couple places online and in this ML archive that have what I need.
3. I am interested in adding enhanced profiling abbilities to Boost.Test or
somehow integrating standalone solution into Bosot.Test facilities. But to
desing the integration I need to understand better what and how you are
trying to do.
