Hello friends,

Could any one tell the way of calculating the speed of c program
execution?

Time it?
That only tells you the time of execution. To calculate the speed, you will
also need to know the distance the program travels within that time.

Unless the app is so fast that it distorts space time . Once the speed
of light itself is approached however, buffer overruns cannot occur.
Running the app at a high temperature has also been shown to increase
performance in some cases.

Until meltdown occurs. You guys are probably too young to recall
the "Taiwan Syndrome" where a computer used to overheat to the
point that it melted its way through the earth until it returned
to where it was constructed.
