Is there an easy utility to time, wallclock and processor, how long a  
process takes? I am thinking like the unix "time" utility. Measures  
down to 100 milliseconds I think.

I've gotten some 9gig disks to work as data disks (thought not yet as  
boot disks...) and the for file access is very startling to me, so  
much so that I need to test some big file writes and reads on 'em  to  
be sure. They seem to be something like 9 to 10 times faster than poor  
old internal drive.

Now admittedly, these drives *can* perform a whole lot faster than  
Telzy can drive them (they can and do handle 160mbs), even if they are  
considered slow and small by today's standards. But that much  
difference on a 33mhz processor? Even going through a Fast/Wide  
adapter??
