There is no function for determining the time a function needs without
evaluating that function first. Try to use the Timing[] function where
you place your code you wish to time between the brackets and it will
return your output along with the time in seconds it took to evaluate.
SessionTime[] is a function that tells how long Mathematica has been
running since it was last started, TimeConstrained[f,s] only allows the
function f to evaluate an s number of seconds, and TimeUsed[] displays
the total CPU time during a Mathematica session.

I hopes this helps, but if not, reply,
Alan
