Make an event to time the HYPRE solve. It only takes a few lines of code.

Yes, its automatic.

Plain GMRES is not good for Poisson. You would be better off with
GMRES/GAMG.

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their
experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their
experiments lead.
