        <pre>There is a comment in chrono.cpp

// MachInfo.numer / MachInfo.denom is often 1 on the latest equipment. 
Specialize
//   for that case as an optimization.


This comment points to:

steady_clock::time_point
steady_clock::now() _NOEXCEPT
{
    static FP fp = init_steady_clock();
    return time_point(duration(fp()));
}

Which replaces a double precision multiply with a call through a function
pointer as an optimization.

static
steady_clock::rep
steady_full()
{
    static const double factor = compute_steady_factor();
    return static_cast<steady_clock::rep>(mach_absolute_time() * factor);
}


vs 

static
steady_clock::rep
steady_simplified()
{
    return static_cast<steady_clock::rep>(mach_absolute_time());
}</pre>
