  If you use integers, perhaps the timestamps
should be stored as
 delta values.   
 That would seem to add complexity with little gain, though I
 haven't really thought hard about that...  
 It does have the significant advantage of eliminating the hard upper
 bound on the range of time that can be present in a buffer (and with
 'null' events, eliminates any such limit entirely, ala SMF). More 
 annoying to work with though..  
 Yeah; someone has to add the "null" events, and the delta nature of 
 it, obviously. You could hide that in event handling 
 calls/macros/inlines of course, but still... 
Yeah, unless there's some compelling cases where splitting the cycle has
a negative side effect, not worth it.
