Execution time is one thing, and can be measured.  What is "CPU burst
time"?  There are certain types of memory cycles that can be called
"burst cycles", but they are related to the processor's memory
interface controller and not directly to the CPU.  Although of course
memory access time can slow CPU execution time.

Very old versions (Turbo C 2.01 and Turbo C++ 1.01) are available from
http://community.borland.com/museum/

The command line tools including the C++ Builder 5.5 compiler is
available from
http://www.borland.com/products/downloads/download_cbuilder.html.

The personal version of Borland's C++ BuilderX complete with IDE for
Windows, Linux, and Solaris is available at
http://www.borland.com/products/downloads/download_cbuilderx.html.

You have to register with Borland and provide some information to get
the free downloads.
