Depends .... iff you are using Linux, print cat /proc/cpuinfo
and look for the line "cpu ...Hz: ...". Parsing that would be straightforward. Keep in mind, the time.time() function reports the "wall clock" time, which usually has up to a millisecond resolution, regardless of the CPU speed. There is also time.clock(), more about that on <http://docs.python.org/lib/module-time.html> /Jean Brouwers [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hello all > > I have the problem of how to calculate the resolution of the system > clock. > Its now two days of head sratching and still there is nothing more than > these few lines on my huge white sheet of paper stiring at me.
