If you have access to the Windows NT Resource Kit, it includes a utility
timethis.exe which can be used to time commands.  It appears to work on
cmd builtins as well.  It only gives elapsed time, though.

If you don't have Resource Kit, with the tools of CygWin, writing a
script should not be hard.

Ah, I see.  
Ok. Now I can compare the ls runs with cmd builtin command. BTW, builtin
commands should be faster...that is why they are builtin.

Unfortunately the time command doesn't show times of windows processes.
I will have to write a little benchmark script.  
Maybe someone has one written?  
Also a pointer to a website would be helpful.
