strange behaviour of clock() with DH_generate_key

Hi, I try to measure time of generating a key for DH. I have a code alike: startclk = clock(); for (i=0;inoiterDH;i++) DH_generate_key(a); stopclk = clock(); And for 512 bits I see the time is about 20 seconds but from stopclk-startclk I see around 0.02
