Do you mean millisecond?

I find addition to be less than a microsecond, but a path call is 8 to 
15 microseconds for the 3rd invocation and up. A send or call takes 50 
to 70 microseconds for the 3rd call and up.  (2 short parameters)

Maybe we should compare notes.

This is on a dual 1.25 GHz G4.
