[Ipopt] ipopt timing statistics w/ openmp timers ?

[Stefan Vigerske]

Hi,

can you clarify a bit what you mean by "way off"?

The timers are implemented in Ipopt/src/Common/IpUtils.cpp
For CPU time, getrusage() is used. For wallclock time, gettimeofday() is 
used.

So you suggest to use omp_get_wtime() instead of gettimeofday(), if 
OpenMP is enabled?
