In case you were asking about the time it would take to evaluate the

there is a theorem in the theory of Algorithms (about universal functions, I
think), which states that in general it is impossible if a computation is
going to terminate.
Well, theory is a wonderful thing, but in this case the original poster knew it
was going to terminate. All he wanted was a way to count the passes through
the loop and a way to measure how long it took.
Some things are easier in the real world than in theory.
