do this: (it works on msvc and djgpp)

#include <time.h>

void main ()
{
	clock_t 	start, 
		finish;
	double  	duration;

  	start = clock();
	
	//////////////////
	// things to be timed
	////////////////

    	finish = clock ();

	duration = (double)(finish - start) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
	printf( "\n%.5f seconds\n", duration );	
}
