The clock cycles of an instruction do not varies but the number of clock cycles to go from the registers to memory or cache memory can be different. So it is impossible to have an absolute time (CPU time) but only a relative time of CPU in current processors. Sorry!. I closed this ticket. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13070#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
