If they're invoked in fresh processes, then you're looking at process
startup time, and I would recommend using OS-level tools to play
around with that. Unix-like systems will usually have a 'time' command
which will tell you exactly how much wall and CPU time a process took
needed; just create a system that starts up and promptly shuts down,
and then you can test iterations that way.

Of course, there are a million and one variables (disk caches, other
activity on the system, etc), but it's better than nothing.
