Dear all: I have used the time command to measure the user time spent by my program, running on a dual-PIII machine with kernel 2.2.13. If I repeat the run, I get a hugely different value for user time from run to run, all the program output is identical of course. For example: 3790.96 user 3876.62 user 3312.93 user This makes optimizing the code very difficult ... Is this a known problem? Does time not work on SMP machines? If so, what can I do to measure user time? Many thanks, Jan.
