Ticket #1962 complained that on Linux, <boost/timer.hpp> didn't
measure wall clock time.

That's because it uses std::clock(), which is allowed to measure
something other than wall clock time.

So it doesn't work for me, either. I ended up calling it "wontfix"
because it is by design, and will be replaced by a much better timer
library in the near future.
