Is it possible to integrate a clock?

Second counter.

To find out how long to develop in a loop or something else needs to
finish it.

You can use the "Get System Info (Current Time)" function to retrieve the
current time. Perhaps you can use this to develop an algorithm that lets
you calculate what you want.

Or even better, use the GetTickCount Windows API:

Use it before and after a specific process and you know how long the process
took.

Why not?

Here is another demo for you. The first two lines are located at the
beginning and the last three lines are located at the end of the script.

This quick-and-dirty example tells you how long the installer was active (in
milliseconds).

Move the first two lines after the first "Wizard Loop" and the last three
lines before the last "Wizard Loop" and you can calculate the "real"
installation time.
