This is the simulation time of the host and not the target.  In other
words, this is _not_ the execution time of the simulated machine, but only
how long it took to simulate.

Although under tightly controlled circumstances, it may give reasonably
accurate relative speedup, I highly recommend that you do *not* use this
as a metric to judge performance differences.
