You could run proc.time() before and after each system call.
x <- proc.time()
# do something
y <- proc.time()
y - x

Rprof seems to ignore all time spent inside system() calls. E.g.,
this simple example actually takes about 10 seconds, but Rprof thinks
the total time is only 0.12 seconds:
> Rprof("sleep-system.out") ; system.time(system(command="sleep 10")) ;
> Rprof(NULL)
user system elapsed
0.000 0.0
