Hi,
This test gives you the price of the time function on each OS
since the 4 arithmetical operations are shorter to compute
(several cycles against tons of cycles). It appears that the time
function costs about 3 us on Linux against 0.1 us on Windows.
This function is probably very OS-dependant since it depends on
how the kernel handles timing. You can't compare anything as small
as these arithmetical operations like this. Using rdtsc would be
much better.
Anyway, if you just want to measure the cost of arithmetic
operations, there shouldn't be any difference in the results
between Linux and Windows (with a safe timing method).
