And even if a leapsecond was inserted between the start- and endtime the result would still be correct and reflect the actual amount of (clock-) seconds that elapsed. I think IBM puts the CPUs in a 'spin' (or whatever it is called) during a leapsecond so your application certainly wasn't aware of that leapsecond.
