Actually I want to have a rough approximation. A process that takes one day and a half it is good to send me how many hours it gets. It is not a problem to convert the values of system.error the major is that I am not sure If I should use the user or elapsed time for getting an estimation of how much it takes once  I press enter theh process to finish

Subject: Re: [R] How much time a process need?

could be that the process was waiting for the user to select a file from a list, or some other input before proceeding.  Would have to see what the overall performance of the system was at that point.  It could also have been that the process was low on physical memory and there was a lot of paging going on.
