/** @design Process Startup and Termination cost.
 *
 * The purpose is to compare the cost of creating a child process on different
 * platforms; revealing which is the best ones...
 *
 * Later analysis on why will be done I hope...
 *
 *
 * @subsection Test Results
 *
 *
 * @subsection  Compilation OS/2
 * Just as normal odin apps:<br>
 * wcl386 -d__OS2__=1 -bt=os2v2 /los2v2 -I%WATCOM\h\os2 PrfTstProcess-4.c
 *
 * @subsection  Complation NT
 * This works from OS/2 and NT:
 * wcl386 -d__WINNT__=1 -bt=nt /lnt -I%WATCOM\h\nt PrfTstProcess-4.c   kernel32.lib
 *
 * Optimized:
 *  Add -Otx
 *
