We use the same strategy for computing the system time as on x86 now.

Browse Source 
The time base conversion factor is the 32 bit value
  2^32 * 1000000 / time base frequency,
so the system time can be computed by
  system time = time base * conversion factor / 2^32.
The expression in system_time() looks more complicated now, but is
actually much faster (factor 2.5 on my Mac mini). I'm positively
surprised, how good the assembly looks, that GCC 4 generates. There's
not that much potential for optimization by hand-coding the function.
