[MITgcm-support] Cost of timestep versus checkpoint

[Dimitris Menemenlis]

if you look at end of the STDOUT.0000 file,
this information is there for your particular platform/set-up, e.g.,

(PID.TID 0000.0001)   Seconds in section "ALL                    [THE_MODEL_MAIN]":
(PID.TID 0000.0001)           User time:   1.1000000000000001
