During my port of mEAn to linux g++ 3.x I discovered that clock() under linux works differently than under windows and returns the processor time (in ticks) used by the calling process. Under windows, clock() instead returns the time (in ticks) that has elapsed since the calling process was invoked.

So, under linux, clock() will tell you how much cpu time the process has used, but under windows clock() will tell you how much time has gone by since the process was first executed. These are two very different numbers, and under linux the use of clock is no good for replacing pfnTime( ).
