Hi Francesco,

Many thanks for your all tests.
I'll try to look at them closer tomorrow.

In the 1-st case it was midnight effect and SECONDS() counter resetting.
In the second one I do not know what was the reason. Maybe some clock
updating? We are using real time clock so such things can happen. This
test shows that it consumes 870.36 seconds from all CPUs but in 3927.41
seconds of real time. Looks that sth froze the process execution for nearly
an hour (f.e. some other process with high priority or simply system clock
was updated).

In this test system load level is very important because we will calculate
also time consumed by other processes - side effect of using real time clock.
Probably it will be optimal to run this test only in 2 threads excluding
test with memory allocation to reduce the interactions with other programs.

Once again thanks to you and all others for test results.

best regards,
