Subject: clock() in background

Author: Peter Fendrich

I tried to use the clock() function (in NT4) and it didn't behave as I expected
it to.
It is said to "Return elapsed CPU time for current process".
I hoped to be able to run performance tests with my chess program in the
background while doing other things in the foreground and yet get the same
results.
The clock() is definitely affected by other processes so I get very varied
results depending on what I'm doing in the foreground.

How come?
