What=B4s this so called wall time?

Wall time is time of day.
CPU time is amount of time a program has consumed.

However, I was a bit fast to reply on clock(). That function returns CPU
time and not wall time.

 From the Jargon File:

tick n.

1. A jiffy (sense 1). 2. In simulations, the discrete unit of time that passes between iterations of the simulation mechanism. In AI applications, this amount of time is often left unspecified, since the only constraint of interest is the ordering of events. This sort of AI simulation is often pejoratively referred to as `tick-tick-tick' simulation, especially when the issue of simultaneity of events with long, independent chains of causes is handwaved. 3. In the FORTH language, a single quote character.
