Hi.  I need to time a simple graphics program for benchmarking
cpu time to the nearest 0.1 second.  The Unix routine "time" 
is perfect for this, except that what I want to time is a simple 
program that opens up a window, draws lines, etc., and closes.

When I do this under GL, the Unix time routine comes back
immediately with zero cpu seconds used, and THEN the graphics
window opens up.

Does anyone have a neat way of doing this?
