Don't do that!

First, msg_Generic() is not very fast, so you don't want to include it. You
should fetch the two timestamps and print them outside of the measurement.

Second, mdate() uses the monotonic clock. You want to use the thread CPU
time clock instead here. With a typical desktop OS scheduler at 100 Hz
frequency, any duration over a few milliseconds is likely to be totally off
due to preemption.
