- of the command.

- The execution time can depend on what kind of memory
- the program happens to land in;
- the user time in MOS is often half what it is in core.

- The times are printed on the diagnostic output stream.
- .sh BUGS

- while the CPU times are measured
- to the 60th second.

- than the elapsed time.
