Is the "cputime" function what you are looking for? As usual, you can see the documentation of it by sage: cputime?<hit return> Note that this will give you the cputime of the Sage process. In some applications, stand-alone programs such as Singular or Gap or Maxima or (if available) Magma will be invoked. cputime would not give you the cpu-time of these sub-processes.
