What is the best way to get really accurate program timings ?  Is
Microsoft C's  CLOCK() library routine good enough, does TurboC have
something better, should I be writing an assembly routine that uses
a totally undocumented system call (:-)), what ?  If anyone out
there has had to work with really accurate timings, how did you do it ?
