There is not currently a test to time this.  If you look at the
code in 'tm_basic.cxx', you can get a pretty good idea how to measure
such [small] quantities.  Basically, you need to capture the current
raw clock time (tm_basic uses 'HAL_CLOCK_READ()' for this).  Grab the
value before doing the longjump and then after you land in the new
location.  Then it's just simple math to figure out how long it took.
Again, tm_basic can show you how to convert the values to real time
(micro-seconds or whatever).

Why are you bothering with such minutia?
