Hi, just wondering what the standard way of measure the execution time
?

2 methods can be :

1) /usr/bin/time prog : this includes all the communcation, i/o ,
loading overhead etc

2) include start_time , end_time code in the program : this won't
include the communication , i/o , loading etc overhead.

what method is usually used ? thanks

tvn,
