Is there any way I can time an algorithm that is part of a Windows
application?  For example, Unix allows finding the CPU time spent
specifically on executing a given set of instructions.

In Windows, I used the gettime function and computed the difference
of the times at two points, and I get different results at different
times, for the same points, the same data;  I believe this is due to
the fact that Windows continuously executes other tasks in the 
background, which explains the difference in the results.

Please help!
