And native linux 64-bit bash has these:

rurban AT deblap:~$ while (true); do date; done | uniq -c
    228 Mon Okt 11 20:12:51 CEST 2010
    250 Mon Okt 11 20:12:52 CEST 2010
    221 Mon Okt 11 20:12:53 CEST 2010
    200 Mon Okt 11 20:12:54 CEST 2010
    183 Mon Okt 11 20:12:55 CEST 2010
    179 Mon Okt 11 20:12:56 CEST 2010
    165 Mon Okt 11 20:12:57 CEST 2010
    150 Mon Okt 11 20:12:58 CEST 2010
    146 Mon Okt 11 20:12:59 CEST 2010

We know bash is slow, so
rurban AT deblap:~$ dash
$ while (true); do date; done | uniq -c
    232 Mon Okt 11 20:14:51 CEST 2010
