我的电脑执行10亿次空循环的时间是2.0秒

我的电脑执行10亿次空循环的时间是2.0秒，测试程序如下：

/* CLOCK.C: This example prompts for how long
 * the program is to run and then continuously
 * displays the elapsed time for that period.
 */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

#define LOOP_TIME 10000000

void sleep( clock_t wait );

int main( void )
{
   long    i = LOOP_TIME,j;
   clock_t start, finish;
   double  duration;

   /* Delay for a specified time. */
   printf( "Delay for one seconds/n" );
   sleep( (clock_t)1 * CLOCKS_PER_SEC );
   printf( "Done!/n" );

   /* Measure the duration of an event. */
   j=100;
   printf( "Time to do %d times %ld empty loops is ", j,i );
   start = clock();
   for(;j;j--)
   {
          i = LOOP_TIME;         
   while( i-- )
      ;
      }
   finish = clock();
   duration = (double)(finish - start) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
   printf( "%2.1f seconds/n", duration );
   system("pause");
}

/* Pauses for a specified number of milliseconds. */
void sleep( clock_t wait )
{
   clock_t goal;
   goal = wait + clock();
   while( goal > clock() )
      ;
}
