Hi All, #include boost::progress_timer t;

0.00 s I was expecting a number >= 5.00 s! What am I missing?

According to the docs for progress_timer, it uses clock(). The man page for clock(3) on my system claims: * The clock() function returns an approximation of processor time used * by the program. That doesn't seem to refer to wall time, so I would recommend you to file a bug against this library. -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se
