- I checked the miscellaneous section of the C-FAQ-list file but didn't see
- this answered covered....
-
- About how much time does calling a function, allocating memory, and
- executing simple statements like "i = 3" take? Obviously it depends
- on how fast the computer running the program is, but I'd like a ball-park
- figure for a 486 or Pentium running a simple program from DOS.
-
- Nanoseconds? Microseconds? Surely not as slow as a millisecond... (?)

- Thanks in advance,
