bug#66112: question about gzip timing

[Azami, Noushin]

Hello,

I'm trying to run gzip on a set of inputs and I want to time the compression 
and decompression so I can calculate the throughputs. I want the comparison to 
other compressors that I'm timing to be fair, so I need to time only the 
compressor and decompressor functions and not the entire code.
Is there a way to do this easily? Could you please point me to where in the 
source code (.c codes) I should insert timers to measure this correctly?


Thank you,
Noushin Azami
