What you can do is what most benchmarks do, run the program many times and calculate an average time. Depending what your program does though you may have to take steps to ensure the second and later runs are truly representative such as making sure nothing is still cached in theCPU cache, pages purged in memory, residing in the disc cache, etc. Be sure to consider everything that might make the second run go faster than the first. Those sort of issues are why the literature on benchmarking gets complicated really fast.
