Can you invoke the function many times in a loop ? If so, you may consider doing:
start = check_timer ();
for (i = 0; i < SOME_CONST_EG_10000; i++)
function_to_time ();
end = check_timer ();
function_time = (end - start) / SOME_CONST_EG_10000;
as this will make the timing error <= clock-precision / 10000;
