First, getting CPU time is completely operating system dependent, so you
need to tell us what compiler and operating system you're using.
Second, if you want to get it "right", there are some fairly complex
techniques that you have to use. As an example, you might look at the
Quick-Look subset of the Ada Compiler Evaluation System.
Set your Web browser to http://sw-eng.falls-church.va.us/compilers/aces
and look for "Quick-Look".
Warning -- measuring execution time accurately is a nasty business!
