Here's a patch that does just this.

On my system, the counter resolution is 3192090000 ticks per second
(Intel Xeon CPU). On a AMD Athlon XP system, it's 3579545 ticks per
second (a lot less, but still way way way better than gettimeofday has
on win32).

I also hacked commands/explain.c to get the total runtime of the query
correct.
