[PATCH] improve precision of process accounting.

The unit of the cputime accouting values that are stored per process is
currently a microsecond. The CPU timer has a maximum granularity of
2**-12 microseconds. There is no benefit in storing the per process values
in the lesser precision and there is the disadvantage that the backend
has to do the rounding to microseconds. The better solution is to use
the maximum granularity of the CPU timer as cputime unit.
