I agree. I am travelling and wrote the note quoted below without reading *every* post that came before..
I think the problem is with the OP's expectations, not with the OP's assembler instructions.

First, CPU for the job is 17 seconds and TIMEUSED is returning less than 1 second. Second, SRB time is huge (2 seconds) compared to the 17 seconds CPU. The OP needs to find another method to solve the problem. TIMEUSED won't give the value needed.
