You can time it inside java by fetching the system clock before and after.

It makes sense to do that for long running applications but in this
case it doesn't. If what you really wanted to do was calculate this
latin squares thing then the startup time matters. Are there any JVMs
around that keep a shared daemon running for all processes to share so
as to avoid some of the startup time?
