This is a stub issue regarding Spectre and timing attacks raised here #26 (comment)

@jtenner rised an issue that clock_time_get and clock_time_res might be succeptible to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectre_(security_vulnerability)

@jocaml advised that we might add a parameter to specify max resolution

Some points from Spectre wiki:

(I'm probably misunderstanding) but aren't Spectre/Meltdown timing attacks more an issue for in-browser (untrusted) code than on servers?

@teymour-aldridge we may be running untrusted code depending on the use case (I have a few ideas.)
