Dear DMC developers,
I would like to measure how much time 
my programs need to be built in Windows
with several compilers. Unfortunately
I do not know how can I do this. Windows
as far as I know do not have a program
equivalent of Unix time(). 

Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance!

If you are talking about elapsed time of compilation, then its provided by
almost all borlands compiler-IDEs.
It also gives effective lines compiled. line count includes the header files. So
its will give you clear idea lines compiled per second.

Still between 2 compilers, due to different sets of default header files, for
same package, lines compiled will change.

I am new for DM, and I am yet to trace full potential provided by DM I(D)DE, 

But, c++ developers commpunity accpets that DM and Borland compiler are faster.
Benchmark of execution speed .... you are the best judge. ( as every compiler
clams , its fastest )

if you have DMC CD, than this utility named timer.cpp is located in 
dm\ctools\SRC\timer.c

if you haven't, this utility can be easily written
something about (but check for spawnvp, maybe argv should be copied 
before usage):

main(int argc,char **argv){
   clock_t clock(),starttime;
   int status;

   if (argc < 2)
     return 1;

   starttime = clock();
   status = spawnvp(0,argv[1],(const char * const *)(argv + 1));
   starttime = clock() - starttime;
   if (status == -1) {
     printf("'%s' failed to execute\n",argv[1]);
     return 1;
   }
   printf("time = %d.%03d seconds\n",(int) (starttime/CLK_TCK),
	 (int) (starttime%CLK_TCK));
}
