Which hardly matters if the margin of error is significantly larger than either measurement. If the limit of precision is only ±0.1 sec then it doesn't matter if your timer gives 0.002 or 0.0002 sec as its result because they're both rubbish data. Accuracy, not resolution, is the limiting factor that requires timing brief operations over multiple iterations.
(Hint: Anyone who wants to profile and optimise their code really needs to do their homework on the subject first, else they'll just end up wasting their time.)
