Hi Anis, you have to just use a stopwatch for gathering a measurement right now, there isn't any built in method.

Thanks for posting your robot, that is a really fun model by the way!

Over here on my test quad-core machine (Intel Q6600 running Vista), I get these times for your model at default settings:

v1:	25.03 seconds
v2 Jan-19:	1.25 seconds

So that's a factor of 20 times difference ( 25.03 / 1.25 ) not too bad huh? :)

Then with limiting to 1 thread, I get 3.62 seconds. This last measurement is primarily of interest just to me to understand if there is any problems with the scaling to multiple CPUs in particular situations like on particular models or on a particular kind of machine configuration.

It is possible for the multi-core stuff to be sensitive to a variety of factors so it may be helpful for me to collect some data on what speed increases various other people are seeing on their own machines and with their own complex models. If it is a lot different than what I see here there may be some things for me to tune up, but hopefully not.
