Hi Adam,

Thank you for the patch, but it introduces dependencies on things like
clock_t or CLOCKS_PER_SEC which I'm not sure how portable and problem-free
they are,
As I suspected, they are not problem-free:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/clock.html
"In programming environments where clock_t is a 32-bit integer type and
CLOCKS_PER_SEC is one million, clock() will start failing in less than 36
minutes of processor time for signed clock_t, or 72 minutes for unsigned
clock_t."
As measuring speed is not the job of lzip, I prefer to leave lzip as it is now.
Best regards,
Antonio.
