Hi Katrik,

in general I suggest to start a little bit with conceptual
considerations.
- You need a system which is sufficiently easy to use and extendable.
- The project you propose has to be doable within the GSOC schedule.
- Things have to integrate into what is already there.

Things like "std::clock" vs. "Dune::timer" are smaller design
questions. First you should try to figure out the big picture and come
up with a project plan. Surely some test programs will help you to get
a good time estimate ;-)

Cheers
Christian
