I know this is probably difficult to do - but I would think it's not impossible:
It would be very useful in the simulator to have a sort of stopwatch, showing the elapsed execution time if the program was being run in real life. This would mean that people would not need scopes to figure out the best way to do things. It would also add enormously to the 'real life' feel of the simulator.
I appreciate that command execution can depend on a number of factors - e.g the values of the parameters that the command is executing - but I would think that at least an approximate execution time wouldn't be impossible.
If I was doing it, I'd have a constant or formula to give the execution time for each command and as commands are executed in the simulator add their execution times to a runnning total that's displayed to the user.
