use clock() and CLOCKS_PER_SEC

for example, the following should give you the interval in ms from
when the first line was executed

int t = clock();
...
cout << "in ms " << ((static_cast<float>(t)/CLOCKS_PER_SEC)*1000);

sorry...correction

Note, however, that it's in no way guaranteed that the value returned
by clock() has microsecond resolution. The value may well increase eg.
in steps of 1/10 of a millisecond or whatever.

I'm not even sure it's possible in all systems to get clock values
with microsecond resolution (the hardware/OS may limit this).
