Hi there,

I'd like to time some functions using Tango, but only including the really used 
CPU-time. StopWatch and the other time functions I've found don't mind on the 
CPU usage, which means if I time multiple processes at once which share a 
single CPU, their times increase...

Best regards

That's something that the OS could do for you, like the "timex"
command on unix.  There's probably something magical in /proc/ that
you can use.  I have no idea what the corresponding functionality
would be in Windows, but it probably has something.

If he had to use OS specific APIs (which would be another sad thing about Tango), I'd suggest to use clock_gettime() with CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID under Unix.

What is timex?
