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

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.
