java testTimer to test execution time

Question

I have a function which checks the satiability of a logic expression also it shows the checking time. I put an input example and it shows that it takes about 10000 milliseconds(10 sec) to run but why when I try to remove all the code lines associated with the testTimer it only took less than a second to run the code with the same input?

    protected boolean runSat() {
        testTimer.start();
        boolean result = checkSatisfiability();
        testTimer.stop();
        options.getLog().print("\nChecking time was ", testTimer.getResultTim                e()," milliseconds");
        testTimer.reset();
        finaliseStatistic();
        if (result) {cGraph.print(options.getLog());}return result;}



The original code is available here: http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/net.sourceforge.owlapi/jfact/1.0.0/uk/ac/manchester/cs/jfact/kernel/DlSatTester.java

Answer 1

protected boolean runSat() {
        long startTime = System.nanoTime();
        boolean result = checkSatisfiability();
        long endTime = System.nanoTime();
        options.getLog().print("\nChecking time was ", (endTime - startTime)/1000000," milliseconds");
        testTimer.reset();
        finaliseStatistic();
        if (result) {cGraph.print(options.getLog());}return result;}

You could try if this is faster (if that was what you were asking)
