  How did you obtain this figure? If you used Xoper (which is reasonable,
since it is in many ways an excelent and very useful program), note that it
doesn't count cpu time, but instead the number of task switches. But more
important, if you didn't use Xoper, what did you use? Is it PD / Freeware / 
Shareware? I really miss an accurate means of timing the cpu-usage of my
programs.
