Dear Collegues,

I recieved a great many replies concerning timing on an SGI INDIGO 4000.
Most of these revolved around profiling, an impressive unix utility.

The easiest way to time a program is to do the following:

f77 -p program.f
a.out
prof a.out > timing_data

A slightly more difficult, but substantially more thorough way is to 
do the following:

f77 -p -O3 -C program.f
mv a.out program.e
pixie program.e
program.e.pixie
prof -pixie -gprof -clock 'nnn' program.e > timing_data

(where nnn is your clock speed in MegaHertz, found by typing hinv)

This is valuable information.  Thanks to all who replied.

Sincerely,
