The feature to use rdtsc when it is not invariant requires us to set `UseFastUnorderedTimeStamps`. However, the current implementation always does `do_time_measurements` first, which adds an accumulative 3 ms of sleeps during bootstrapping. While most modern hardware supports invariant tsc, we have observed that many virtualized environments disable this even if it is running on supported hardware. Which means that doing this adds to our startup time even if the feature is never used on many common deployments.
I suggest we do some checking before deciding to call `initialize_elapsed_counter` and avoid it if we know we will not use rdtsc regardless of the outcome.
