Hi,

    I've read the post from Roman, and I'm not sure that I've understand.

Under linux the timer.elapsed() function will not return the total time
needed to do all the operations but only the CPU time,
this excludes network communication in parallel programs, time spent for I/O
operations ?

For example if I need to measure the time needed to read an input file I
should not use the timer library? What else?

Thank you,
 Federico
