It appears to me that the author has explained why the result is showing 0.000 seconds: 'run' never gets called, as it says in his article. Was there something you wanted to add?
In the future, please use the Talkback: link at the bottom of each article to comment on it; that sends the mail to the correct address and allows The Answer Gang to discuss it. I've forwarded your e-mail to TAG for you, this time.

That would be a little difficult in this case, as this article predates the talkback mechanism.

Whoops. In any case, the principle holds good - I prefer that anyone
following up to articles use the mechanism, and it never hurts to remind
the readers
Unfortunately, the author seems to have disappeared, or at least his e-mail address comes back dead.
